ReplyDeleteSo many of these made me laugh. So true, what's new about "my god is me."
ReplyDeleteAnd...sigh...I really miss clotheslines & the way clothes hung out USED to smell.
I am most fortunate that I am one of those rare people who still has a clothesline in the city and I actually use wooden props in the country.Pleased I gave you a Sunday laugh....18 more to go...will put on another lot next weekend !
