Tuesday's 4

Welcome all, here I am taking part in Tuesday's 4, this is the first one for 2026 this year I am going to try and post on the right day of the week, anyway, here are this week’s questions.

Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 welcomes you and we are very happy to have you back.

Can we talk about housekeeping and chores today since January was usually the time for white sales and replacing linens and towels for the household. Never heard of such sales

My mother ironed sheets and pillowcases. I iron the cases but not the sheets.  I feel that the cases feel better after ironing and I like the fancy ruffles etc to look better.   What do you do?  Is ironing a waste of time for you?

I iron pillowcases, tea towels and work shirts so not much

Home is enhanced by good cooking, clean rooms, freshly made beds, quilt and the lovely touches women bring to things.

What special touches do you put on your home to make it special, cozy and warm?

Can’t think of a damn thing other then having photos on all the walls

Do you recall Mom or Grandma sprinkling and ironing clothing?  Was there a laundry day set aside and an ironing day?   What is washday like at your house

Mum used ironing spray and so do I, washing day was always either Saturday or Sunday, me I wash every 3 or 4 days. Ironing would be done often at night while watching TV when I was a child.
