It is a wonderful blessing to have it all done at once, then, as you said, a person can enjoy the rest of the week doing other things. :) Thank you for sharing your Amish memories. I love the simplicity of their lives, and though I don't follow it, I still admire it from a distance and strive toCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-58174172539841500052013-11-05T20:05:28.381-05:002013-11-05T20:05:28.381-05:00I also loathe washing.

Yup, you read that correctly. Old timey wringer washer. They work wonderfully well and it doesn't take all day to do the laundry. Just gotta be careful feeding button-up shirts thru the ringer lest they pop off or break.

There's always the extra church clothes. Some days I dread it but as my oldest gets closer to college age and I pull my baby girl's sweet smocked dresses out of the washer I try to remind myself these days won't last forever...Nolefan Ocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15526028943242508253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1260159263783917143.post-23616139881424402972013-11-04T13:50:18.317-05:002013-11-04T13:50:18.317-05:00I do most of my laundry on Monday, too!

Usually have four loads, and I must confess that the sheets make up the last load, and rather than fold sheets, they stay in the dryer until the next week, when I take them out to put them on the bed. Am I a lazy so and so, or what?!!
