LOL. What is he doing in the meantime? Drinking a glass of wine? Think this shows why men are often dreaming of the good old days, while women don´t. Great find and very creative treatment. v

Yes it was! But they had no computer to take up their time. :) Nice finish

The old remedies were/are often the best. I now use washing soda to clean the dishwasher and oven - works a treat.

Life was so simple then, but it was awfully hard work!
Cindi Smith07-Sep-2010 00:58
Yep, my grandmothers did the same thing. I remember Borax Soap....love this image. Very, very nice, Laine!

Excellent work Laine, great postprocessing.

Excellent but don´t they do in the third world still do the laundry this way?
Ken Duckert06-Sep-2010 13:06
No doubt about it. Earlier generations surely faced harder work. Great photo and outstanding processing Laine!

This is supwer, Laine. The mood is so well captured by the presentation.

This is wonderful and a superb entry for this weekly challenge. Very clever to think of using it, and very nice treatment. Vv

Great image to remind us how lucky we are living in this day and age, Laine!!..BV
Johnny JAG04-Sep-2010 20:58
It's funny, we were just talking about that today!
Jackdad04-Sep-2010 20:51
a humorous image - and how times change. Would my wife smile and scrub away hard like that if I was lounging beside watching her like the guy in this photo? Somehow I think I'd be expected to help! ;-)
Vince04-Sep-2010 18:57
Very interesting image. Vote.
Al Chesworth04-Sep-2010 18:57
Well now, I don't remember the tub, once a week tin bath for us kids.
PauloCGama04-Sep-2010 18:46

Very nice touches.
Guest 04-Sep-2010 13:10
Thank goodness it's easier now. Lovely image Laine, the texture is perfect. V
Barbara Heide04-Sep-2010 11:41
I'm actually back of using borax and white vinegar for my cleaning purposes... very efficent and less impact on the environment... along with the fact that it is very cheap...
nice shot!

So lovely Laine, brings back some memories! Love the texture, so right for this image! v
