Thursday, lovely, warm, and sunny day, 68. I finished ironing most of the day.
Comment: Not much seems to be going on, household chores. The ironing for the whole family could be a pretty big job. When very young, I recall her ironing with flat irons that were heated on the stovetop. She would heat two, then use one till it cooled then exchange it for the heated one on the stovetop. I also recall kerosene heated irons and then, of course, the Rural Electrification program brought electricity to the area in about 1946 and that changed everything.....
