| As we descended, my behind bounced off each log we passed, as though I were a piece of laundry being scrubbed on a washboard. |
| Long ago, laundry tasks simply required a tub, washboard, clothesline and backbreaking labor. |
| One night I was in the laundry room reading and washing and Karen came in with a basket of clothes. |
| I do have a little exfoliating cloth thing that I use sometimes and then throw into the wash with the other laundry. |
| I'm not going to write about this here, because it wouldn't be fair and I don't believe in washing my dirty laundry in public. |
| The washer breaking down was the most annoying thing, happening just when the baby was sick and there was five times as much laundry to do. |
