I'm obsessed with clotheslines...

Hooterville sent me this earlier today. It brought back so many memories - every word of this is so true!!!!!

THE BASIC RULES

1. You had to wash the clothes line before hanging any clothes. Walk the
length of each line with a damp cloth around the line.

2. You had to hang the clothes in a certain order and always hang whites
with whites and hang them first.

3. You never hung a shirt by the shoulders, always by the tail. What
would the neighbors think?

4. Wash day on a Monday...........never hang clothes on the weekend or
Sunday for heaven's sake!

5. Hang the sheets and towels on the outside lines so you could hide your
'unmentionables' in the middle.

6. It didn't matter if it was sub zero weather.............clothes would
'freeze dry.'

7. Always gather the clothes pins when taking down dry clothes. Pins left
on the line was 'tacky'.

8. If you were efficient, you would line the clothe s up so that each item
did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the clothes pins with the
next
washed item.

9. Clothes off of the line before dinner time, neatly folded in the clothes
basket and ready to be ironed.

10. IRONED?????????? Well, that's a whole other subject.
