That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for August 03, 2020

Not only did she get paid for doing the laundry, her posture also improved.

Fed up with her husband, Freda is leaving and taking custody of her child and the laundry.

Take your daughter to work day, every day. Show her her bright future.

Wash day always gave Bertha a headache.

“Shana! Come back! Come back, Shana!”

as a seasoned mula, ursula knew that moving the drugs in the laundry basket was a better way to go than swallowing baggies…

Ursula had to go past the town to wash baby diapers.

The cow is watching you.

Finally, a painting that does a good job of capturing the peasant idyllic: A rural, picturesque town, filled with stocky, hard working women and ugly children.

It was not the most profitable work – and the overhead was terrible.

Ursala hated laundering the whites after taco and frijoles negros night. . . .

Mom is going to be so mad when she gets to the river and finds out I ate all the tide pods.

Being that the clothes were “Delicates”, Ursula heads past the rapids and down to where the water pools.

The laundry’s a thankless task/ How thankless is it ? Don’t ask!/ “And it’s grown even worse!”/ she snarled, with a curse/ “since I’m doing it in a mask !”

You’d think that guy with the brush and easel would be a gentleman and give me a hand.

As I watch Ursula walk down the path I can here “The Irish Wash Woman” begin to play as she breaks into a jig, nary a piece of laundury were lost.

The spring rains gave rise to rapid currents which in turn made riverbank wash day a life and death ordeal. So Ursula made her kid do it.

Stealing Rosa’s laundry basket was easy, but Ursula didn’t reckon on being pursued by her kid.

“Seems like I’m laundering till the cows come home!”

You got to get up early in the morning if you want to get that prized first spot for washing the laundry. Everywhere else is downstream.

This is one of the many reasons I built my house upstream from the village!

LULU BELL is looking to see if the river is going so fast so she can wash her stuff without working too hard.

Taking a day off? Steve?

Right before her mental break down, a child could be heard saying, “Carry me too, mommy.”

Something ain’t right..it’s Tuesday, 9:23 a.m., and no new pic ? Wassup?
