That completely befuddles me. I love my line dried washing! Yep..you need a line...oh the smell of sun dried sheets.

I need a clothes line! <br /><br />I do think that life in the old days wasn't necessarily simple, and I'm happy for my washer and running water in the house. But I'm always interested in which of the old ways work today. Thanks for the inspiration.<br /><br />francesLeft-Handed Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014518128739580267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-32362871588291507962009-07-10T00:53:06.463+10:002009-07-10T00:53:06.463+10:00I loved this post and love the simple life.

Your 'simple life' is very simil...Hi Tracy,<br />Your 'simple life' is very similar to ours. I use modern gadgets but buy the best and most efficient we can afford and expect them to last. If a job can be done as easily by hand, it is done by hand. Clothes are air dried, some dishes washed by hand some in the dish washer. Most food is cooked from scratch but sometimes we buy pre packaged stuff when everyone is tired. I have a go at a number of crafts but like to produce a useful article rather than something that is just pretty. We recycle and try and keep waste to a minimum. I know we could do better and small improvements are sometimes made but we are happy and thats what really counts.<br /><br />LyndaCrunchie's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561893477545578734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103758876428147420.post-30616238458077517212009-07-09T09:28:02.327+10:002009-07-09T09:28:02.327+10:00Tracy, thank you so much for the comment on my blo...Tracy, thank you so much for the comment on my blog and the link, I really enjoyed this post and it thrills me to see so many others talking about living simply :)<br /><br />I'm adding you to my Google Reader and going back and reading more of your posts too :)<br /><br />Have a great day,<br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448386993712122412noreply@blogger.com
