Yes, can you imagine sleeping on the ropes? I have my characters in my latest WIP sleeping on them. The hero ends up outside under the wagon. ;) Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />Hi Krista! Most would put a ticking over the ropes but for the purpose of an overnight respite for travelers, the travelers would have to provide the padding between them and the ropes. Thanks for stopping in!

I think it was also because everyone took baths on Saturday night and they didn't want the dirty clothes laying around in the small homes, so they washed them up on Monday. But that's just my mind thinking! Thanks for commenting!

Once my parents could afford a washer and dryer, she never let it break down for more than a day. The only things she'd hand wash were socks and underwear when we were traveling.<br /><br />I remember playing with the washboard as a child. I used it as an instrument, never to play at washing clothes.Alison E.

It helps us understand why wash day was the dreaded day of the week. No wonder they did it on Monday so they could get it over with. Boy, am I glad for my washer and dryer.<br /><br />Robyn Echols w/a Zina AbbottZina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.com
