Driers

On Monday I had a lunch date with a friend, but I also wanted to get some laundry done before I went. So I carried the basket down to the basement, and sorted the clothes. I decided to start with Hubby’s ski parka. It said to use a cold wash, gentle cycle. Fine, but all I can say about that is that the spin cycle isn’t hard enough to wring out much of the water.

I tossed the parka into the drier as I left for my date, and never thought another thing about it…

My lunch date was great.A wonderful salad with goat cheese, candied nuts, and craisins, served with a warm raspberry/balsamic vinaigrette. It was also served with a croissant sandwich of bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado. My taste buds are still thanking me!

We talked and talked and talked, and then said good bye. I wanted to drive by the home that burnt down the other day. It’s been really terrible, but we have been having fires almost every day! I think there may be a fire-bug in the area. Certainly all these fires are not coincidental.

It was sad that this old house was burnt down and that four families were displaced.

I arrived home and the drier had stopped. I opened the door to check and it was still wet. I tried to turn on the drier, but it wouldn’t turn on! I checked the circuit breaker, and I thought it was fine, but still no drier.

So I came upstairs to tell Hubby, convinced that we would need a new drier. He went down and showed me I had not closed the breaker correctly and when he did it, the drier worked! He is so talented!!!

(sigh!)

So the day is close to ending and I am thinking I might like a fire in the hearth. A nice way to end the day!
