Stories unpinned from the clothesline: Come join in to share memories of the days when everyone hung their laundry to dry out on the clothesline! Do you have nostalgic, or funny, or even troubling memories from those days gone by? Want to share a story -- whether it's about the lost pair of panties, or the neighbor kids peeking over the fence at your underwear, or when the whole line collapsed, or the bird left a deposit on your clean sheets? Anne, who has been a Clothesline Historian and Hobbyist for over 40 years, can also share some great stories and even poetry from her extensive collection | |
