The heart got me to thinking [Filler]

The pandemic closed the gym.
We bought an indoor rowing machine.
The daily exercise routine — now at home — evolved.

We now use the guest bathroom for our post-exercise showers. This bathroom is directly above the water heater, so the water gets hot quickly, and we have dry towels in the master bathroom for our before-bed showers, since each of our towels has 24ish hours to dry.

Recently I noticed the heart tile above my towel. A memento from a trip, I need to be careful when I rehang my towel.

That got me thinking about how I hang my towel (fling it up and guide the bottom to fall behind the bar, which I can’t do now because of the heart tile) and more generally how people fold and hang towels.

My parents hung towels folded in half.
Clare’s family seems to have hung them folded in thirds.
I do a sort of hybrid so they dry faster: folded in from each edge but so the edges don’t touch. You?

Pretty towel rack and my favorite color of green for a towel. The tile is sweet! LOL! I fold in thirds too except when after it's used. To dry quicker I don't fold it at all.

@marlboromaam Haha — the towel bars came with the house 20+ years ago! The towel did not, but the green color is a reflection of my college alma mater loyalty. Not folding — right! Before we started using the guest bathroom and a second towel, whenever we did yard work for example, we'd spread out our towels unfolded so they'd dry faster and maybe be dry before our second showers!

I have to say, when I had traditional rods, I spread my towels out as much as the rod would allow. Now I have a hook and the towel is draped over. Still dries well.
