My Mom back when i was born used a cast iron tub that she would fire up to wash clothes in then a wash board to scrub them on . One day Dad got Mom a used washing machine . That sure made life a lot easier back then . I would help her wring out the clothes and if you weren't careful it would drag your shirt or hand clean up to the arm pit . Then you would have to back it out . Sure got a lot of bruises back then . Mom used that washing machine till March of 1970 . I bought us a new 12X60 foot mobile home and got a new modern washer and dryer . That ended the old washer's duty. Mom still hanged out a lot of clothes . We had a dang cat that would back up to them clothes on the line and spray . I guess it was its way of marking things . That cat didn't live nine lives . Also had a dog that would jump and pull them clothes off the line and have them scattered all over the yard . He didn't last to long either . Mom finally give up hanging on line . Sure do miss them days . Guess we all miss a lot of things in life and the memories we shared with our parents and brother and sister's . I never had the pleasure of having a sister to look up too while i was growing up . I have an Aunt named Rachel that was about the same age i was and guess she was like a sister to me . . . . .
