We didn't have a wringer washer but did hang out the laundry on the line. And I do remember the sprinkler bottle -- it was a recycled Aunt Jemima brown glass syrup bottle. Thank goodnes, though, Dad sent all of his shirts to the cleaners for washing, starching and ironing! How about darning? I remember darning and darning socks -- wow was that a project and it was all mine, for the whole family! Throwing them out these days or using as dusting clothes seems to make more sense.
