A NEED for technology...

I MEAN WELL when I head to the laundry room to iron my husbands badly wrinkled shirts. I try to think about my grandmother and mother before me who slaved over a hot iron with a happy smile and a song to press their loving husbands shirts. I mean why not? The man of the house goes to work each and every day to earn the bread money.
But the end result is always the same:
WE LIVE IN AN AGE where rockets are orbiting into space, computers are the size of jelly beans, and your car can parallel park by itself! So why oh why have we not invented an easier way to remove a wrinkle from my husband's shirt!!!

I am laughing! The frustration is endless when it comes to laundry. Fortunately a dry cleaner will do it for you for $1.50, and way better that we could ever do it! check them out, dry cleaning is the new wave of high maintenace, and perfection!

Go Joe! The real American Hero...

Ha! Do what I do..spray a little wrinkle release on it and ta-dah! OK if that does not work I throw a wet rag in the dryer with his shirt..! HA..he loves me:)

I too think of the days of my grandmother--only she had a maid come to do all the ironing once a week...she was wise in more ways than I realize.

Amen! Why did I never have a young womens activity where they taught me how to iron? It seems young woments covered everything else. You are so funny!

I could not agree more! Once I get Gavin's shirts ironed, I turn around the the iron basket is full again-- it is a never ending process that should be easier!!! Love the pictures!!
