    I used to have a set of dish towels that had the jobs for the days of the week. Monday is always wash day!

    I did not realize that there were series of postcards. I must look to see if post cards are still available. Personal snail mail is almost gone. I do not get personal mail anymore with the exception of a few cards at Christmas.

    Washing clothes must have been so much harder in the old days!
