At least the dash will be less dusty in my car from now on. <br /><br />Judith, I know one neatly-pressed guy who keeps an ironing board set up and irons his clothes. He says he got the habit when he was in the Marines!

And it's comforting that I'm not the only one who remembers rag bags, and home canning, and ironing, etc. etc. etc. Thanks for affirming all things good, Liz!Judith Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180111759454911863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143958666184014774.post-31404272905457968032014-05-22T05:15:53.161-07:002014-05-22T05:15:53.161-07:00I just realized my comment's as long as your p...I just realized my comment's as long as your post--not good.Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8143958666184014774.post-81450453169818820102014-05-22T05:15:20.626-07:002014-05-22T05:15:20.626-07:00My mom had a rag bag--we have a garage.

The other things...<br /><br />I sew, so I press, and if we're going to a wedding or funeral, the white shirt gets ironed. He mows all three acres and blows the snow if we're here then and can't wait for it to melt. I cook because--like you--I like to. I don't can, though I sometimes miss it. My son and daughter-in-law do, but they're like a well-oiled machine so I just stay out of the way.<br /><br />I go through the carwash and use their vacuum, too, and keep a Swiffer in the car to dust the inside while I'm waiting for things. Duane washes them at home sometimes and cleans his out here. <br /><br />I clean house when I can no longer get through the mire. I, too, would like to hire someone but I'm too cheap. :-)<br /><br />Liz Flahertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794565644883272260noreply@blogger.com
