Tell ya what, Solar, we may have not been a smarter country back then, but we certainly were a lot wiser.
Need to go rest for a while, using that washboard gave me a workout. :biggrin:

The chalk holder gave me the longest pause, then I remembered in 2-3rd grade, that's the thing the teacher used to draw the parallel lines on the board for learning cursive exercises, and musical notes. 3 lines for cursive, 5 for music.

LOL! Mom used to make me do that on the back porch when I was 4, though, I think it was just to keep me occupied. I had no strength to wash clothes, but I tried.
Then dad came home with a 5th gen hand me down hand wringer washer, got my fingers caught in the roller, that was the last time I was allowed around it. Good times... :biggrin:

I still have my Grandma's kettle that was in the carport. We would build a fire under it out of corncobs to heat up water so she could wash clothes in her wringer washer, at first it was a hand crank, later a electric and later still a modern one that was moved into the house. That old kettle was used for hot water for washing clothes, butchering hogs, and plucking chickens. Mom had a washing machine, but no dryer until I was a teenager. You're right, I did not realize it at the time, but those were good times. Sure wish I had the old wringer washer.

I've kept an eye out over the years, they really did do a great job, better than the spin cycle of most washers. I used to put my pants on as soon as mom ran them through the wringer in the summer, kept you cool for awhile. :laugh:

Had been assigned to clean the chalk board, 'cause I was tall. All that nasty chalk... just sitting in the tray... waiting for me to sprinkle a few drops of water on each one... Pretty much ended that nonsense.

11 of us kids, gave mom plenty of crank power. And there I was, trying to get the clothes to go in straight, fingers running into those rollers, "MOM!!! Billy needs something else to do!!!"
