Do you remember these? I use to love Mary Janes when I was young (many moons ago!). I remember when they cost only one cent each; now they are 10 cents each! When I was out buying the supplies for my Soul Journal I came across these. There's one missing! :-) I figured I'd eat them while doing my Journal because isn't a journal about memories and feelings?Do you remember hanging clothes on a clothesline to dry? I do. In fact, right this moment I have some clothes on the clothesline. It's such a beautiful day out I couldn't resist. I'm like most people and dry my clothes in the dryer but occasionally I do like to put things outside to dry. I just love the smell of clothes dried on the clothesline.
Speaking of laundry, do you remember washing clothes with a washboard down by the creek (or is it crick!)? Neither do I. I'm not quite that old! But, I do remember wringer washers. My grandmother had one. At home we had the regular washer so when I was at my grandparents for the summer, wash day was a novelty and I just loved helping her do the laundry. It seemed like so much fun! Of course, you had to be real careful not to get your fingers and hands caught in the wringer, which thankfully, I never did.
Watch for "Do you remember? Part II" when I get in this mood again!! Feel free to share your "Do you remember". It's amazing sometimes to look back at how far technology has come just in our own lifetime.
God bless,
Linda

Once when, I was little I tried to put a wash cloth in the wringer washer, It went in with my arm and hand almost to my elbow, before my other mother walked in and stopped it! ouch! I also still use the line for my laundry. Almost all the boys clothes go on it, because they are thin & dry quick.
Ah, the memories you've brought to mind! I have washed on a washboard in a bucket of lukewarm, lukedirt water and hung clothes out to dry. Talk about your knuckle busters! So grateful for my washing machine! :-)
