Right 2 Dry * Now we need Legislation to Hang Clothes in the Yard to DRY?
Reading this week's PEOPLE magazine made me sad. The fact that HOAs and homeowner associations are attempting to regulate residents' use of line drying their laundry.
Like our first TV set, I can remember when we got an electric clothes dryer. Before that time, I would help my mother hang the wash on a folding tree-like clothes line that swirled as we filled it with wet laundry. When I was old/tall enough, I could go out and get the wash and fold it gently and put it in the laundry basket. It was a wonderful rite of passage into adulthood and EVERYONE DID IT!
The fact that 5 states have had to enact legislation to BAN regulations BANNING hanging laundry in yards is almost unAMERICAN. I just voted to send a message to the White House on this issue.
