I really didn't make any big plans today, because I figured we would have rain all day..... NONE, right now!!
So....guess what today is? IRONING DAY!
That's right.....I still Iron!! I actually iron quite a bit. I do take a few things to the cleaners, but for the most part, I iron our clothes.
I really don't mind though. Actually, it's kind of relaxing!!!
Wow....what a bargain!! $14.90 for both.
Funny how the smallest of things can take you back to your childhood days. I remember as a child, my mother taking some of our clothes to be ironed. There was a lady in town who ironed for a living. I would often ride with mother to take the clothes there, or to go pick them up.
I sure wish I could think of this lady's name. I do remember the cost.....for a while, she charged 10 cents a piece for each item to be ironed. Later, it went up to 15 cents!! This is CHEAP!!
My mom would laundry the clothes and then take them to be ironed.
I love this memory that I had today....

I dislike to iron, I will admit it! I take virtually nothing to the cleaners. Just every now and again does something go to the cleaners. I love to hang things on the clothes line and then iron them, so crisp!
ReplyDeleteThat was very cheap. At least by today's standards. I don't like ironing, but once I get started, it IS relaxing. I remember the old 7-UP bottle with the sprinkler top. Sprinkling the clothes, then rolling them up till they were to be ironed.
ReplyDeleteHi Shug!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should talk about ironing . . . I just got done! I still iron, because there are just some things that don't look right if they are not starched and ironed! While I was ironing a pillow case (yes, I still iron them... :0|) I was thinking how my mother taught me to iron many years ago! She first taught me to iron hankies, then pillow cases. Finally, I graduated to creases in jeans and lastly, my fathers work shirts. He was a fireman and had to have all those creases in the right place! Thank you for taking me down memory lane as well! Just loved it!

I use to do a lot of ironing, but now only what I absolutely have to.
