We always had a clothesline where we lived, that is IF it were feasible. I love hanging clothes out! I think drying them in the sun made them just smell better for some reason.
Grew up with a clothesline and sometimes Mom would put the clothes out and she would see a "streaker" going thru the yard after something that was needed on the line. Good thing we lived out in the middle of the country! lol Yes, it was usually me running out there. lol
I loved the wringer washer we had too....we had the good one, could either go electric or by hand. That's what Mom wanted, so that's what she got. That way, if power went off, she could still finish the clothes.
I told hubby that when we get our house, I want a clothesline. He laughed and said sure...then I KNOW the clothes will be folded once they are dry. lol (I don't like folding clothes, but you HAVE to fold when they come off the line!) :) :)
