Was it a "mangle"???

That was an eyeopener for me as a kid...

When I would go to stay with my grandparents in the summer, my grandmother would
"mangle" sheets for the cabins my grandparents opened for the summer folk... Sheets
+ pillow casea... Table linens... We kids took off the dust covers, swept the floors +
washed windows... Every summer... for "cabins" along the shore of Lake Michigan...
Wow... What memories...

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
