Me, too!!! I remember a lot of these things, but as a child. I, too, have an old iron being used for a door stop. I vividly remember the sound of the sprinkling water Momma would use getting ready to iron. And I, too, sometimes long for at least SOME aspects of the old days. I feel so rushed so much of the time, and yet, don't seem to accomplish much at all... sigh.... On the other hand, I'm really glad I learned to use a rotary cutter and the other wonderful tools we all have. Makes one wonder about the changes during the next 25, 50, 100 years!!!!
