Lots of sun here. Right now, I'm still enjoying my new laundry adventure.

I was obviously tall enough to reach the clothesline by then. You know what? I found it to be very therapeutic (not knowing that at the time of course). And still do today....as we always 'hang' our clothes when the weather permits.<br />Mitch, I think you are on the cusp of a wonderful experience......one that may just change your life! Seriously, enjoy it but make sure that when you are hanging items that they are all 'grouped together' and matching. You'll see.......lol<br />JimJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199777195853274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-36333476428880297832011-09-05T10:11:33.894+02:002011-09-05T10:11:33.894+02:00Nubian:

She washed my brother's diapers and hung them out on the line only to come back an hour later to find that birds had crapped all over them. They went out and bought a dryer the next day.<br /><br />Peter:<br />Thanks for the advice (that I read AFTER i threw in a load of clothes at 10 in the morning)!

Someone even wrote a book a la beautious pictures inside. I use one all summer. When the cooler weather arrives I can't use it anymore because everyone seems to use wood around here to heat their homes which gets into the clothes and therefore re-wash time...annoying.

I'm adjusting. And I wouldn't say I'm always staying so calm. I (well WE) have our moments. This week coming up should be busy and I hope fruitful (delivery of stuff, TV installation, internet and landline installation). Maybe we'll at least accomplish one of the three. Two would be amazing. Three and I might need a sedative.
