one of the things i miss the most living where we do in california, is the ability to hang clothes out on the line to dry - it's something i can still visualize my grandma doing in her backyard and my mother still doing it to this day....and if you pass a house that has laundry on the line, curiousity always gets the best of you as you study the items and colors of the clothing items that they have lined up on their clothesline. i have this one framed in my laundry room at home, my shorts and the twins' dresses which all just happened to be color coordinated that day - really, i didn't do that on purpose... but seeing that picture in the laundry room at home, allows me, for a minute, to smell that freshly dried sun -baked piece of clothing once its completed it's job on the line for the day.

I miss that about South Africa too! My mom still hangs everything out to dry. There is nothing better than sun dried sheets on your bed at night, something about it is so comforting!!
