   Me neither!  But it was always neat to see a bed sheet blowing in the Spring   
   sunshine :)

   I suspect my mother did it to save on the electric bill (with 5 kids).    
   Apparently, we lived on a *tight* budget, although things like braces were   
   still accounted for.

   Wow!  Talk about sheets of ice! :)  Can you imagine putting on a frozen   
   bra?!?  Reminds me of that expression, "Colder than a witch's tit in a brass
