edited to add photoI haven’t read the book, but I think my hubby’s love language might be ironing.Please don’t tell me that you haven’t ironed in 20 years, and you just hang your hubby’s clothes right out of the dryer. I’ve tried that, and it just doesn’t look like real love in our house. [...]

The washer saga, and Thankful Thursday

We recently went 11 days without a working washer. It was horrible.We cheerfully hung our laundry out to dry for months when we didn’t have a working dryer.We went months without a kitchen of any sort, cooking solely in a crockpot and grill, rejoicing in the added luxury of an electric roaster.For 5 months, [...]
