Re: What do you still do the old fashion way?

'Funny'.......Just yesterday, DH caught me hand washing three white utility towels in a bucket out in front yard....

 

He got out of his car and asked 'Where's your washboard?'

 

At that moment, I thought of a thread (years ago) talking about washboards......

 

That washboard thread was hilarious!

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Still use paper calendars with the large day spaces to write my appointments on. Will never get rid of my land line phone. Use a paper address book with everyone’s address and phone number. Still cook and bake from scratch. Grow my own veggies then can or freeze them.

I greatly admire anyone who can do this.  I never had a garden, and would be afraid to eat food that (I) canned.  I think it is an art form.
