~Laundry~

When I sit in the doorway I, of course, noticed all

that's going on and I have my binoculars too, so I can

see really well.. They are very old ones that were my

dads. I watch the neighbors and Ive seen a man

over yonder, and he hangs out his laundry. Ive not seen

a lady do it. He has a lot of laundry for one person so

perhaps his wife isnt able to do it. But he does a very

good job. You KNOW there are rules for hanging clothes

on a line. My mom could tell about all the neighbor's

week by what hung out on the line Monday mornings.. Yes,

MONDAY is, well was ALWAYS wash day.

I saw this man take a cloth and wrap it around the line

as he walked first one then the others of the lines wiping

them off, then he proceeded to hang his clothes, I was

very impressed.. but he was, I don't want to say old, but

up in age, so he maybe knew the rules, cuz he hung, hanged,

well put them on the line in the right order AND the right

way.. Heaven forbid, according to my mom, that the clothes

be hung wrong.. OR mixed up.. whites with the colors or

the shirts hung up by the shoulders.. and even so far as to

not hang the socks paired up ! :-)

The Budzaks lived next door to us and many times my mom

would look at her laundry and say "Looks like someone was

sick, lots of extra towels and sheets". Her logic was that

because as she added, "there were no other cars there so

I don't think they had company". :-) I think now they call

it Neighbor Hood watch :-) I envied that man and I looked

around the yard to see a possible place that we could put

up a clothes line and hang some things outside, especially

my bedding.. :-) It could be done, but not with out a prop,

which is just the long stick to hold up a long line so it wont

hit the ground. Laundry has advanced so much .. I had a

wringer washer, my first one.. THAT was a fun job, but

the clothes came cleaner than they do now I think.

I'm thinking too I better get busy, try to get something

done today, Penny overslept so we got a late start and

lots to do yet. And its a rainy gloomy day, good sewing

day though which I might do some this afternoon, Right

now its post time and for this GORGEOUS WEEBLE to

find some lunch ! :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and thanks !
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...
