On some days I think of myself as a writer, and other times I do not (because just wanting to be one doesn't make me one--I have to do the work!). My childhood laundry memories involve pushing the clean, but unfolded laundry over so that I could actually sit on the couch. Looking back now with a mom-view, I suppose I should have just folded it myself! (By the way, I also treasure young teenaged babysitters who can have a conversation!).

Actually... you have inspired me to hang a clothesline up! Our dryer broke last week (totally my fault - I jammed packed it full with way too much stuff!) and my husband suggested a clothesline for the remaining summer months... so, now you have me inspired!! - Audrey Pinks & Blues Girls Kathy… great post!!

I remember hiding behind the sheets on the clothesline... must've been hiding from my sister (or an impending punishment)! :-) That is a great memory!

I remember my old babysitter had a clothesline and I used to love running around through the clothes hanging up, playing tag or chase with my friends. So very summer!

Whatever happened to the good old days? I'd like to try and hang a clothesline again, but I'm not so sure the neighbors would enjoy looking at our stuff. Funny thought. Thanks for sharing your memory. We had a clothesline too. Whatever happened to the good old days?

I remember driving by the actaul Watergate building, and staring at it from the car window, and thinking how could President Nixon do such a "bad" thing? I didn't realize the magnitude of the whole thing....and I shouldn't have at 10. But our pool was a refuge also, although I remember always being cold in the pool and standing with my friends in the hot showers forever. :) I hope you enjoyed your writers workshop........you have the heart of a writer, I see it in what you post on you blog! And God is using your words to encourage and inspire others!! :) Graet memory Kathy….I was 10 the summer of 74, and I remember those Watergate hearings also, especially since I grew up in the DC area.
