I only knew one family whose clothesline I had seen and I was jealous of it (turns out my mom was, too). <br />Most of my grandparents had a burn pile or barrel. I've never operated one myself, but one year we all learned that you don't leave one unattended, even if you think it's done (or to light it farther away from the house), when my grandpa went to a cousin's recital and a flying ember set the roof on fire. Luckily someone was home to notice and the fire station wasn't far.

Mom used the dryer all the time but we would clothespin blankets to the lines and make forts. Those were the good old days.Princess Judy Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870980058627037243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234661885127647580.post-21948956134036878702015-07-10T09:01:46.966-07:002015-07-10T09:01:46.966-07:00Being "more mature" was cooler at 16 tha...Being "more mature" was cooler at 16 than it is at 46. :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15771290296094756296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234661885127647580.post-70012785637607192902015-07-10T09:01:00.406-07:002015-07-10T09:01:00.406-07:00Thanks for coming by!

Your photo and description of the swing set brings back my own vivid childhood memories (we had either the same one or one very similar to it). I also remember swinging to the point of the frame legs lifting and thudding back into the ground. A few years later, after we had moved and the swing set was left behind (which I would've outgrown by then anyway), my dad built a swing set for me. Good memories!<br /><br />Thanks for the nostalgia trip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234661885127647580.post-15909752329375697202015-07-09T12:43:15.884-07:002015-07-09T12:43:15.884-07:00You are welcome!

We didn't burn our trash (because we lived in the city), but we did have a compost pile for the woodchucks, skunks, squirrels, and whatever other critters found the scraps. I also remember having to run for the laundry basket when it clouded up! And always, always barefoot.
