A Good Washer

Two Christmas Eves ago, our washer decided to just stop. It wouldn't work, it wouldn't spin, it wouldn't wash.

So, guess what I got for Christmas!? Yes, you guessed it! A new washer (and dryer... because they go together, right? Like peanut butter and jelly!)

Well, I have been catching up on some much needed laundry this week - since I've had a chance to finally get some done. When I first got the washer, it was exciting to do laundry. However, the newness has worn off, and it's back to it's... ugh! status.

However, this week... as I have washed - I have found a few surprises. It's a good thing this is a good washer (or this could be what happened to our other one!) :)

Here are a few things that I've found in our washer this week....

a squirrel

(no, not a real one... a little toy one that Whit likes to carry in his pockets)

mulch and sticks

(from my other two nature collectors)

rocks

(again, from my collectors)

a capped needle

(thank goodness it was capped... from my veterinarian husband)

And then, there's the shirt... the white shirt, for chapel day... that Whit was wearing when he somehow fell in the potty at school! One wash, on the 'very soiled' setting - just like new!!

There are more to list, but I must get back to folding.... Ahhh, the joys of laundry. At least they make it interesting for me, right?

I hope you all had a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving! I know I did!
