All day she worked on laundry and baking. She made three fresh loaves of bread, thankful to be able to afford that much flour at a time. She had a lonely lunch consisting of just a cheese sandwich, but the bread was so fresh, it was a pleasure to eat. She took out the butter churn and sat out back and spent an hour churning butter, her arms aching by the time it was ready.When the boys got home from school, she had a snack of milk and cookies waiting for them at the table. The parlor was clean, and all the beds had been made properly with clean sheets and quilts. She was proud of the day she'd put in. That evening after she finished the supper dishes, she'd be able to sit in the parlor and knit for a while, not worrying about doing more chores. That sounded like a pleasant pastime to her. It wasn't so long ago that she would get home with just enough time to eat something either she or one of her three roommates made, and then they would all fall into bed exhausted, knowing they had to start early the following morning to do it all again.Why, this seemed like a life of luxury to her.
