We had similar issues with visits to the dentist, though we had to travel a couple of hours to get there, and a filling resulted in the uncommon treat of a milkshake afterwards (for everyone, not just the unfortunate--usually me--who had to have a filling).<br /><br />And like you, I sometimes reflect on how easy laundry is for me, compared to my grandmother (Mom had a washer and dryer, though we used the "solar dryer" whenever possible, as I still do).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ninjalibrarian.com/2017/04/w-is-for-willoughby-narrator.html" rel="nofollow">The Ninja Librarian’s Favorite Characters </a>Rebecca M.

We also had a wringer washer, in an unheated room off our kitchen -- and my mother and grandmother scared the heck out of me with warnings about not putting my hands in the wringer, and how to pop the safety catch if I did.
