Are you sure we are not related!!!???? My poor little Brother( he is not little anymore, just turned 50!) would stand out there under the line and just barely getting a grip of his "Bankie" and cry to get someone to take it down!!! To this day, he still has a small square of it saved!! I wish I had a pic of this...Mom had tied it into so many Knots before it finally ended up so shredded/tattered..... sweet memories!!My gpa did help mom by taking down the laundry and folding it into the basket...oh, I sure miss those days!!! We did live quit simpler!!
