Book- The Clothesline by Rawlings & Vansteenhouse 2002
I picked this book up at the library. It's a cute book that is quite charming. A quick read, I read it in two days. It is dedicated to the pleasures of hanging laundry out to dry. It gives a few hints at the history of laundry and pictures of days gone by. It also gives a few recepis for ironing water and stain remover. I am not overly into laundry. Growing up in a modern home where my Father did more of the laundry than my Mother it was a hurry-up-and-get-it-done type thing. My mother-in-law loves doing laundry and this has always baffled me just as my lack of care has always baffled her. Reading this book gave me a small incite into why it's so important to her identity. Laundry will never be a love of mine but this book was fun to read. I don't suggest it as a retail buy but do rent it or pick it up second hand.

I'll see if our library has a copy of it. I like hanging the laundry out in the summer, I don't like folding and putting away clothes. I think if I had more time I might be more into the whole process. Thanks for the review.
Your box of mushroom love was sent out last Thursday. It should be arriving sometime in the not too distant future. Hope your Monday is a happy one.
Thanks! I have decided to use my blog as my reading journal as well. Laundry is not my thing either. Like I said a quick read; cute bit not worth buying.
