We also had an old wringer washer and would have to help mom pull the laundry through the wringer, then later Mom got an electric washer that moved all over the room. She tried to hold it down so it wouldn't come unplugged. We have made a lot of progress, haven't we? :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383088026534281295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427255405351747883.post-47711211799303622132012-10-19T13:31:42.914-05:002012-10-19T13:31:42.914-05:00I used to get in trouble for the in/out thing and ...I used to get in trouble for the in/out thing and slamming the door, too.

We thought that we were daring, but it was really only a foot off the ground. As we jumped, we shouted, "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" But, it was Easter, not Christmas. We kind of got mixed up, lol.<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5427255405351747883.post-15587540967150399102012-10-14T12:23:29.008-05:002012-10-14T12:23:29.008-05:00Hi Teresa .. what a beautifully told childhood aft...Hi Teresa .. what a beautifully told childhood afternoon session - and what a great end .. just brilliant - clever little chap ... fun memories ..<br /><br />Cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
