It's the Simple Things
Bathing by Robert Lakstagala
Many years ago, in fact too many to even remember, Plantwoman sent me a greeting card with this picture. She doesn't smoke and never has, nor does she have hair like this but still this reminds me of her. Why? It's the bathtub. She lives in an older house with a small bathroom and a tub exactly like this one: perfect for soaking. I matted the photo and put it in a frame and it now graces a wall in my bathroom. Every time I look at it I think of my BFF.

What a relaxing image. Oh, yes, those are great old tubs. The only drawback I see is that it takes forever to fill them! My mother-in-law had one in her old house, but the bathroom was on the top floor and the water heater in the basement, so you had to plan ahead to fill the bathtub. It took a while for the hot water to reach you. That tub was so large you almost floated in it. Luxury! My 1960's house bathtubs are barely deep enough to get your knees submerged.
I'm jealous. I would love a bathtub to soak in. Mine is way to little for that.
What a great bathroom wall hanging. 8-)))
A soaking tub would be just a little slice of heaven *s*
You know, this is very cool! I'm just a tub junkie, too.
Great tub! and great idea to mat and frame to preserve the thought of your bff!
Oh my, a tub like that to soak in would be a lot more fun than my plans for the day. LOL
That's so funny. I remember those tubs from my childhood. I take showers now---
What a nice picture to remind you of your friend! We had a tub like that when I was little - Mom used it out in the horse pen for the horses water. On a hot day we would scrub it out and play in it! Mom said that it was cast iron and cold so she gave it to the horse. Funny!
I love this photo!!
I use to have a footie tub and loved it. This brings back some good memories. You can't get better than soaking in a tub like that.

We have a tub just like that. I love to soak in it. We have an on-demand hot water heater (tankless) so I can keep the hot water flowing into the tub for hours (the excess goes out the overflow). Cast iron tubs retain heat.
I love your picture. I wish I looked that good in my tub, but no photos are allowed.
Pass me a cigarette...and no, I don't smoke either. Ahhhhh
