I remember helping my mother hang out the clothes. She also remembers the time when I was about 5 or 6 and she went out to get the clothes off the line. It was freezing cold and I thought it would be funny to lock the door. Don't know how long she stayed out there before I let her in. Got in alot of trouble for that one! Remember the jeans stretchers you put jeans on to dry them on the line? I love sheets and towel hung on the line - I love the scratchiness of the towels - I know - I'm weird. Those were the good old days. Can't have clotheslines where I live. Pretty stupid idea.
