How sad! I hadn't heard this story about what happened in Italy. Good byes are always sad too.
ReplyDeletei haven't used fabric softerns in years because of its toxicity, however sports socks become more like cardboard than anything resembling their former cotton texture, in only a couple of washes. I tried adding vinegard (a green tip), but it didn't make any difference, as our water is fairly soft anyway. So I bought a green fabric softerner, and I do a sock wash every once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteDid you ask anything about our socks in your post? :)
