I can't help but marvel at the work that some women did so many years ago, especially in light of how much harder everything was for them to do in every day life. No micro, no fridge, probably no electric, only gas or oil lamp to work by in the evening, gather wood for stove, bake bread for the day and no Maytag, for sure, haul water, heat up water, scrub on board with soap that you had to make first and on and on and on. Then they maybe got to sit and cut and sew after the children were fed and bedded down, by pale flickering light. I just can't imagine how they managed it all. I marvel at the results.
