Old Fashioned Clothes Washing



Simple is most often successful.
A cooler full of soapy water, two washboards and a sack of doll clothes amounted to hours of work...I mean, play.
Actually, I'm not sure those two aren't one in the same.

We went into discussions about the convenience of our lives, but also the cost of convenience; how much energy we waste on jobs we no longer have time to complete by hand. How accustomed we are to pressing buttons and walking away while machines do the work for us.

Then we did some Toilet Bowl Magic.


We all verified that the toilet water was clear, before I said some magic words and flushed to reveal blue water! (they have asked daily for me to repeat this magic since!)
