I still have a clothes line and the props :D We always had to "sort" the laundry when taking it out of the washer that way all the wash cloths, hand towels and bath towels could be hung together. And OH MY!!! "Unmentionables" had to go on the inside lines. We had 4 lines....Bath towels and sheets had to go on the front lines to hide those pesky "unmentionables" LOL I still use the lines for sheets and towels...too much softener on the towels and I can't get dry...they don't absorb like when hung on the lines.
Mom even used to hand laundry in the basement on a million lines in the winter when we were little...not to mention all over the house on wash day. Ironing day was a totally different story. :D Great memories :D
