I have a mesh bag that I use to put soaps in and we hang it over the water spigot outside during the summer. It's quick and handy for gardening clean up!
Thats a great idea! But my husband prefers to come to my kitchen sink and use the new clean dish towel that I just got out. And then of course wipe his sweaty face and neck with it. THAT is why I have about 4 dozen dish towels, I go thru 6 or 8 a day! Men are grossy!

When I know we'll be out in the yard for the day, I have old towels I put out next to the spigot for that purpose. So it's staying cleaner in the sink/bath areas. Now, if I could just get them to wipe their feet when they come in!! Dog included!

I know, I should do that too. But he gets so excited when he comes in and sees me. We'd probably end up hurting each other!

I wipe her bottom too. Sometimes that can be worse than her feet…
…and I have to tell you this…my husband grew up in a house where they could spit in the kitchen sink. I know this doesn't bother some people, but he almost lost some critical parts the first time I saw him do this! I don't allow ANYONE to come in from outside and wash their hands in my kitchen sink! (It doesn't bother me if anyone else does this in their kitchen, but I have too much of my German grandmother in me to allow it.) I've chased people I didn't know all that well out of the kitchen with a wooden spoon…(they came back…I just have RULES!). I'm weird about it – I'll admit it. I get teased a lot! We have a sink in the laundry room – and they can wash their hands there!
I love the soap in mesh idea for outside. I think I'll do that too. I usually keep a pump soap dispenser out by the spigot…like the other better because the mesh will act as a "scrubber"…and I can use those slivers that are too small to shower with.

You sound just like my staunch old german grandmother. She had my grandfather build on a washroom right outside the kitchen. A toilet, sink and shower. He had to come in that door only, take off his shoes and wash up for lunch at 12:00 sharp. Step into the kitchen, eat and leave out the same door. In the evening, his supper was on the table at 5. He came in the same door, showered, she had his clean clothes hanging and ready for him. He came in and ate, and THEN was allowed into the rest of the house. I tried that when we moved into her house, that we live in now. Didnt work, its like they dont hear a word Im saying. Maybe I need a bigger wooden spoon…or a boat paddle.  Im sure youre a lot more fun than Mamaw.

My MIL doesn't allow anyone to wash their hands in her kitchen sink.
I would wipe my dogs paws before they come in but I have 3 dogs and that is all i would get done doing. I lay an old towel down like a rug by the door so when they come in they get wiped a little.

The person who upsets you the most is your best teacher, because they bring you face to face with who you are.

Sometimes,I live in my own little world, but it's okay because they know me here.

Uhm. They are metal forms, kind of springy, shaped like socks over which you stretched the socks to dry. They then dried in the shape of a sock.

If you like the socks stretchers, you can only imagine the fun you could have with pants stretchers…

Probably more easily. They are much bigger… Well, at least for people whose slacks are larger than their socks.

I used to beat my little brother with them, so they'd probably work on a hubby.

I actually have some pant stretchers. John likes his pants with extra extra extra starch so I pulled out Mamaws stretchers and showed him how to use them with liquid starch and hang them on the line.
Well, you didt think I was going to do it, did you???
I am woman hear me roar…he is man, watch him iron!

That was my mom's favorite thing to grab and whack us kids with. Ouch! Worse spanking I ever got was with a hairbrush tho. I was standing on the gas meter peeking in on my boy cousin in the bathroom and my mama beat me with the brush until my poor little butt was beet red. Never peeked again.
