But we had an electric dryer when the 5th baby came along. Us kids thought we were living high on the hog then!!
It's fun sharing memories :) I remember pants stretchers, and clothes hung all over her house. I used to be afraid of the farmers overalls that she would bring in from the line freeze-dried! I'm sure there are a lot of us who remember what a chore it was to keep house fifty years ago :)[/quote]
