Yes, I'd like the Banana Parkinson recipe. Not only does it sound delicious and look great, but it will always remind me of you! I'm in the minority, I guess. I do NOT like the smell or feel of things dried outside. I grew up with clotheslines, of course, but the fabric always seems so rough to me when dried that way ... and it smells like dirt to me. LOL I only do a couple of loads a week - white and everything else - so I use the dryer and am glad to have it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-65805322876383755052017-10-23T04:53:32.274+10:002017-10-23T04:53:32.274+10:00Just found your blog, such a way with words & ...Just found your blog, such a way with words & with the needle, I will look forward to reading your next one. I live in Apache Junction, AS & we have sweltering summers, not much of fall & hardly any winters; but through it all clothes still get hung outside. Nothing can compare to sheets dried on a line or all the clothes for that matter. Thanks for posting, totally enjoyed all the pictures as well. In my 'spare' time I love to embroider but have not yet decided how to best show my projects. All are one-of-a-kind items as I don't like to duplicate anything, no fun in that.<br />best regards,<br />Shashi Bondo<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-82726825350158715362017-10-21T01:20:04.096+10:002017-10-21T01:20:04.096+10:00I quit facebook about 8 months ago.

I just recently started back up because I miss the groups that I was in. I started under my birth month and middle name and no last name because I don't really want friend requests. Is that terrible of me?? Anyway it has been nice to only see posts from groups that I want to see. I follow you and just sent a request for you Gentle Domesticity group. <br /><br />I am glad you are getting rain. Parts of the US are burning up, but here in mountains of Colorado we rarely have drought. Our property is watered by springs that well up all over our hillside and it hasn't ever dried up! Even in the rare case of drought here.<br /><br />I have a dryer but rarely use it. I love hanging out clothes. In the winter I use a drying rack out on the deck. Nothing like the smell of clothes dried in the fresh air!Simply Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949788201577730682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-26917009014270269922017-10-19T20:26:15.651+10:002017-10-19T20:26:15.651+10:00I think your husband is a keeper! :-) Your food lo...I think your husband is a keeper! :-) Your food looks delicious and I LOVE anything with bananas.

Love your Christmas stitchery and the applique project is coming along nicely. I hope all your washing dries well. I tend to hang mine on a clothes airer over the ducted heating in winter. I know what you mean about having freshly laundered cotton sheets on the bed. I would have fresh sheets every day if I had a maid and several lots of sheets LOL.Ondreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375358743415174254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-13684334049322856882017-10-19T14:54:46.539+10:002017-10-19T14:54:46.539+10:00I love your blog Jenny.

Such lovely flowers from Mr. E, he's such a keeper. Jenny, I would gladly trade ANY cleaning with you if you'd do all the cooking, lol. Although I do have a recipe to share, next blog post. I'm thrilled with the chatter on your fb group, such a lovely bunch of ladies. Your new table runner is looking splendid, girl, what a neat pattern! And the peek at your new scripture design is just breathtaking. As is the Christmas stitchery - wowzers I do love that. <br />Cully May is too, too precious - so lovely to have a child in this digital age, when you can take so many pictures and not worry about developing film.

It sure was nice to see the grass start to get green again. I don't mind mopping floors so much as having to scrub them. Scrubbing is hard on my knees. We started washing dishes after our dishwasher broke and we have found we don't mind. My how Cully May has grown. It's so fun to watch babies and little kids explore new things.

When we lived in Darwin, and when it rains here, we place the drying clothes rack under a ceiling fan overnight. The clothes get dry this way. We line the sheets up over the backs of chairs under the ceiling fans. It works so well that a dryer is not necessary.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-60694668540578931052017-10-18T17:14:53.823+10:002017-10-18T17:14:53.823+10:00Jenny I was hoping you were getting some of the ra...Jenny I was hoping you were getting some of the rain.
