Wash Day

I remember when every Monday was wash day in the neighborhood and there were clothes lines in every back yard. Keeping clothes looking good in those days was a very hard job. There were no stay-pressed or wash and wear clothes and everything had to be ironed. If it rained on Monday, your schedule was messed up. Quite a few things were starched. There was no spray starch so it had to be mixed up and the clothes dipped in it, then ironed. Things have really changed.
