Whether in the past or recent, what sorts of old-fashioned sounds has your home witnessed?
Maybe it was the sound of an old-fashioned washing machine in the basement, clunking and grinding away on laundry day. A washing machine that long needed to be replaced.
Maybe it was the sound of an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine being run through it's paces.
Maybe it was the sound of rubber sheets being tugged off of baby's crib on laundry day.
And maybe, just maybe, it was cloth diapers in your home, too, like it was ours, where the plasticy rustling sound of rubber pants could be heard when diapers were changed.
Maybe you remember the squeaky sound your outdoor pulley-clothesline used to make, as you tugged on the line to draw it in or send it out.
Anyhow, thought it would be fun to voice our thoughts and experiences with, and maybe, just maybe, you may very well remember such sounds from your childhood.
