A Big Surprise at the Natural History Museum

[maggie~hamilton]

This past week, my nephew David from Frederick, Maryland was visiting. One of the things he wanted to do was see the Natural History Museum, so we went. We turned a corner, and what to wondering eyes should appear ...

This was in a display

that showed a number of household objects, furnishings, and appliances...

and a washing machine

"The 'EASY'" ... doesn't look very easy to me ... but I guess it beats a washboard and tub of boiling water and a bar of lye soap!

And an old...

(Maybe someone who posts to the other forums on this site might want to alert those folks about these photos of the washer and ice box...)

The neat nic side of me

I can't help but wonder who the cleaning person may be,,, did you notice all the dust in the pictures, perhaps they should put that old Regina to work.
