The heavily upholstered overstuffed chairs and sofa sporting uniquely shaped and curved backs sat polished and proud atop Oriental rugs that covered the hardwood floors. Damasks, silks, and velvets covering every flat surface available were clean and dust free. The draperies that dressed the stained-glass windows consisted of heavy fabrics in deep reds, greens, gold, and rich browns that blended beautifully as they hung over a lace underlining and were pulled back and secured with heavy cording and tassels. Granny Gert had already cleaned the entire house because it was Monday. Tuesday she would tackle the laundry. Wednesday the ironing. Thursday the cooking and baking for the weekend’s entertainment, even though I never entertained. And Fridays were saved for getting her hair done. Tracy down at Pump up the Volume hair salon, with its eighties-themed decor and fun atmosphere, had agreed to roll and set it for Granny every week, just like her stylist back in the city used to do.
