When I look at her I remember how hard she worked...pumped the water, heated it on a burner, pored into wringer washer, washed clothes for 6 kids, hung them either outside or in the basement and then the next day ironed them all. Our jeans had seams ironed down the front. And I complain about laundry....we live such spoiled lives...
