I remember those...my Mom loved the scent of air-dried sheets and pillowcases. Those were the days.

The women in my neighborhood would all plan to meet out there at the same time. I remember them laughing and talking from the four lines that were out back together.

My mother grew up in an era where everyone hung their clothes out to dry - I love my dryer but wonder if I'm missing out on something?

You really are; that is when all the women get together and talk about their day, planning to run out there around 9:30 a.m. every morning.
