We dried our clothing the old fashioned way. We hung them up on the rail of the shower bar. My wife was amazed: let them hang there long enough–they eventually dried. Our drier did not work. We have been waiting on a back-ordered part for weeks now going on months. It was a Maytag and we finally complained to its master company, Whirlpool. The letter was dated almost three weeks ago and we have not heard from them. We even included our E Mail address. Whatever happened to good customer service? Of course, this was the way clothing was always dried before the advent of electricity and driers. It was now winter time and we could no longer dry it on the clothes line we had set up in the yard. Thank God our washer still worked. You have to do, what you have to do. You need clean, dry clothing. My wife, though, liked doing the laundry. I just had to put away my own clothing.

It was the old fashioned way. And it did not occur to me until I learned my dryer was not going to be fixed immediately. It had been out of service for at least a week and the service person had to order a part, which would take over a week to arrive. I was running out of clean underwear and socks and had become desperate. I had to improvise. First I had considered going to the nearest laundromat. That was twenty minutes away. Then I remembered I had clothesline so I strung it up. We were going to hit a good stretch of weather. It was going to be warm and no rain. My wife dug up some clothes pins so we were in business. This is the way people always dried their clothing (before the advent of electricity and driers). She was thrilled she could air dry her clothing and what did not dry was hung up in the bathroom overnight. This was the way it was always done at one time. It certainly was economical. We had to rediscover it. She was so thrilled. And I had clean underwear and socks again. And other clean clothing.
