I could not imagine Mom cleaning in heels.

Grandpa's cabin has one of these, only it's avocado green.

So who'd the baby kill? Those don't look like mud stains to me... more like bloodstains.

lol,
I think it was the Jam/Jelly in moms hand.

I just love those yellow appliances.

Had a very similar bright yellow washer/dryer as a kid in the 70s, no idea if it was then 20 years old and the same model as these, but certainly it could have been.

I would love a canary yellow washer/dryer! :D

We had a bright effing yellow stove when I was growing up. It was weird. It looked sort of like this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOdvwGyffxI/S1nRsLEGilI/AAAAAAAAF1E/vG6MiirX4KE/s400/caloric.jpg

But was this shade of yellow with these kind of windows, handles and knobs on it: http://www.earthakitsch.com/cloven1.jpg (Obviously the yellow in the above ad is waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy better than the yellow we had.)

It was faintly awful due to the color, but I loved cooking with it. I could bake the main dish in the lower oven, the sides on the stove top and some biscuits or potatoes in the upper oven. (I was in charge of making dinner from about age 8 up.) It baked way more evenly and got hot faster than a lot of newer ovens. It's probably also the reason I despise electric stoves.

But the yellow color was just ungodly awful. It matched the awful yellow fridge/freezer we had (that had brown plastic handles molded to look like wood, no less), but they both looked horrid next to the avocado green trash compactor. I rejoiced when we got all black and off white matching appliances. My only woe was the lack of the top oven. (All 3 died of old age within the same month! Haha!)

Cleans everything they say? Here's to hoping she didn't put her kid in there. O_O

I think she's at least considering it...

I like the hand print/scribbling on the wall. mom might look like something out of a utopia, but the kid is at least acting like a kid!

It had a lint filter? When we went shopping for appliances, I specifically requested good lint filters so I could hang things out to dry. The salespeople looked at me as though I had asked for it to be hooked up to a treadmill. People *dry* their clothes, and *those* have lint filters, so no need for one in the washer. I am not happy with some of the cat-hair collections that come out of that washer.

Oh god, I think we had that exact washer in my house up until the late 1990s...
