    No, I’m going to wait for Maytag’s version.

    They’re the only paddle concession up this creek, so they really take you to the cleaners. It’ll cost you the shirt off your back for just the economy model.

    “We’re not ones to go around spreadin’ rumours.

    Why really, we’re just not the gossipin’ kind.

    No, you’ll never catch one of us repeatin’ gossip,

    So you better be sure and listen close the first time."

    Now…how many of our gentle readers can identify that?

    Honest, I read all about it. If you keep up the isometric exercises, you’ll have to beat the guys off with a paddle.

    I think I’ll go with the Windows cleaner instead.

    A somewhat enlarged image can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday). Again, it is a cropped image of the full painting, found here.Women Washing Clothes by a Stream is, as far as I can tell, privately owned.But, given the number (number 156 in this list, and that’s just paintings in the U.S.) of such scenes painted by the artist (currently 78 of them, along with an artist bio, can be seen here), without an image, it’s just a guess.The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories).

    When my grandmother was a little girl in Spain, she would have to take the family wash down to the local creek, wash it there and let the clothes dry on the rocks. If any were found dirty when she took them home, her mother would throw them all on the ground, stomp on them and make her take them back and do them over.Grandma said sometimes the women there would feel sorry for her and do the wash for her so she could go play with the other kids.And here I am using a computer on the Internet and currently using my automatic washer and dryer.A completely different world spanning just three generations.
