To share a funny story!

My mother-in-law was still using a wringer washer when my husband and I got married 53 years ago. She washed all the clothes in the same water. When I married my husband all his black socks had white pills all over them because the whites and towels were always washed first.

When we were first married we borrowed my father-in-laws camping trailer to live in while my husband finished college. That little tiny home was only about 15 feet long.

It had three draws in the tiny bedroom. As I was placing Rodger's socks in the drawer he came along and asked me why I was doing that, because socks belonged under the bed in a box. You see he was raised in a family of 15 children and only the oldest children had a drawer.

I asked him if it was alright to use the drawer since it would be empty anyway and he agreed. I also informed him that most people did not store their socks in a cardboard box under the bed. This is a funny example of how we think when we are raised with something we think its what everyone does.

His black socks came to the marriage covered in white lint and under the bed dust bunnies all over them. We really came up in the world when the socks were no longer under the bed and they came out of the wash without lint on them. It took me hours to pick off all the lint since in those days there were not fabric shavers or lint tapes.

Just a little funny history of life back in the 60's and 70's.
