We live in a 4 generation household. I do not know what we would do if we couldn't hang the clothes out to dry. I love the smell of line dried sheets. My mom still gets on me for hanging the clothes wrong on the line. My husband never hangs them right, his mom doesn't hang her clothes. My son is learning to hang clothes by my mom and my grandmother. He has to stand on a stool but he helps hang the clothes. Our homeowners association does not allow clothes lines...ours is hidden out of sight. I remember someone asking once "don't ya'll have a dryer." Yes we have a dryer for the towels. Everything else goes on the line. Oh the memories of sheets flapping in the wind in the summertime. Some things don't need to be changed. Sunshine gets out a lot of stains that just washing won't get out.
