Terri, there are SOME advantages to living on a pebble, then!

Yes there are! From wearing nothing but sandels, my feet don't like being cooped up in shoes. They start screaming to be let out. I think the little piggy screams the most! ;)

I love my clothesline!!!! I only have one straight line instead of the umbrella style. I wish I had more room for another line!!!
I love the way the clothes smell and feel!

I love hanging clothes outside!! THey smell so nice...I do like towels from the dryer though. I have an umbrella clothesline, a large clothesline where a dog run used to be and a large amish drying rack. I use the dryer in the winter...but put sweaters and things on the dryiing rack in the winter. I have an electric dryer at our cottage, but have an umbrella clothesline there too and use it if weather permits.

Hi!

Did you also use clothse-line poles to keep the heavy lines from sagging and
dipping the sheets, etc. in the dirt?

Thanks for reminding me of the old days!

I remember my mom doing all of that when I was a little girl...now I do it with my own clothesline. I love that fresh smell, especially on my sheets!

I STILL have one of those at my house in Amarillo!! The neighbors occasionally asked to borrow it.......When my husband and I married last summer and I moved to Borger, I begged him to put me a clothes line up, but alas, the carbon black plants put a stop to that!! I find it easier to do without a dishwasher than a clothes line!!

Cute and funny:)And the real funny part is we still do the clothesline as soon as the temps hit warmer;)Love the fresh smell and the savings on the electric makes the trips worth it:)Skeat
