Almost every time I hang clothes outdoors I think about the “poor” people who live in neighborhoods with neighborhood associations. Imagine being told what you can and can’t do on your own property, including having a clothesline!
Love you Jackie! You are the reason I subscribe.

Jackie, I know you’re just thrilled about having a clothesline. I finally got mine by purchasing two 4 x 4 posts and starting to dig the holes. DH took over and by the next day, I was hanging clothes again. Boy, the things we have to do…!!

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for being such an inspiration… I also wanted to give back by telling you of a clothes like I made for in my home over the winter.
We built a back room clothes line… 2 wooden studs, eye hooks set a foot apart from eachother. Put the done stud on each side of the room on a stud, and draped the lines… I have been using this for while.. Thank you for all your tips… I know at times it is nice to hear a thank you and since getting the internet… finally have my chance… I have been researching European Canning… Twist top lids… One piece lids…I did it with a Italian Jar I bought and a few others… Worked great! Anyhoo… Deeply appreciative…. Respect you alot for your strength and integrity. Thanks!

Congratulations on the clothesline poles! I’ve been waiting for installation for mine for a couple months now, but hubby mucked up his knee and we’re in a holding pattern. Thank heavens for trees and hangers, else I’d have to use the dryer alot more. There is nothing so wonderful smelling as line dried clothes!

If you want a ham taste to your beans you can buy a product called base in most grocery stores….usually by the saltier boullion cubes in 8 oz jars. Comes in chicken,beef,ham and vegetable. Excellent for adding flavor to canning or stews/soups,making quick sacues. We always keep it on hand–wonderful for bean soup when you don’t have any leftover ham to put in it!. The Penzeys.com variety is excellent,too. DEE
