Lunch with Linda

Today 'the gals' from work went out to lunch for Linda's birthday. This is not where we ate, but the little old laundry on El Camino next door to our restaurant. I like the colors. Lunch was good, too.

History of Laundry Songs

The original idea for this site was that it could be a place where dirty laundry was wrung clean and hung out in the sun. Really. No metaphors, no similies, no inuendo. Just clean clothes. Lots of them. Then, it seemed silly. So, now it is a place where I collect images, songs, poems, books, essays, and people celebrating domestic life. Lots of them.
