I actually watched women wash clothes on a rock, most of the day, after a car blew a gasket and we had to camp on the ground near the Portuguese frontier in Spain. I guess it was very picturesque as long as all you had to do was watch. We lay in the grass under the cork trees, and somebody's guinea hens wandered around loose between us. We pretended to be French (to avoid anti-American feeling and not to be overcharged for anything)--and then the local high school French teacher heard there were some French guys camped there and came out to practice his French, which luckily was somewhat worse than ours.

<My husband thinks real women go down to a river and wash their families clothes on a rock . . .> You mean there is an easier way? This is news to me!!! I do ten loads like this every week, and make sure I look pretty good doing it, as the old song goes. And what is all this talk about big machines vomiting in the garage, and men coming to your house looking like Steve McQueen, anyway? I could use a little tune-up or something!!!!!! Oh, sorry, got to go and slay some tofu for dinner . . .
