I am now the proud owner of my first washing machine and dryer. This is a hoot, having all these firsts so late in the game of life. The sales person at Sears was excellent; she was very knowledgeable, didn't try to upsale me, and gave me some good pointers.

Mandarin meg has been quiet for three days, and her last post in her comments (you always have to read her comments, you never know what you'll find in there) sounded like she might be discouraged. How about going over and giving some love to this lady who has given us so much? Thank you.

I have a Culligan man too! Well water definitely needs softening and a filter for drinking.

oh, and all older kids (over here on the other side of fifty or so) . . . go check out SusanJayne's quizzie. A great walk down memory lane!
