Harmony, what brand washer did you get? Everyone says Speed Queen is the best on the market, if one is looking for an old-fashioned simple washer.
Dmom said she was Just About Ready to drive to Next Town TODAY and get one on its way to her, but then she started doing laundry in hers, which has been leaking out the TOP -- and it is a top load washer -- but suddenly, it stopped doing that.
So -- I am running a 34 minute rinse and spin cycle, with nothing in the washer, to make sure all the cat hair is gone.
Sent ddil a picture of the lovely white furry jacket she had bought dgd... which came out of the wash looking like it had been washed with blue jeans and or blue towels.
I told ddil, I don't know HOW this happened -- it was on cold, with nothing in with it except white, gray, and very pale pink items. (Some of the gray items had screen-printed designs, but all have been washed many, many times.) I was surprised -- ddil just said, "It's okay. It may have been on there before."
It's not like dgd NEEDS another jacket, anyway...
Supper eaten, dishes washed...
DH wants to go over to ds' house to use OUR tire pump, which ds has been holding on to. We both have tires that have very slow leaks. DS is waiting for the next stimulus check in order to buy new tires. (He got a notice in the mail that it should be direct deposited into his account by today, actually.) We need to make an appt with Wmart, where we bought these tires, because we haven't had them that long and it's crazy that they already have a problem. We think it something around the valve stem.
Wow --
Cathy -- I hope that new medicine works well for your dh -- it sounds great -- to be able to take it only once a week... and have a reduced appetite? I wish I could have a reduced appetite.
OH -- I told y'all I would give you a book review.
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennet was pretty good. The subject matter is a bit questionable -- a side plot involves drag queens and someone transitioning his/her sexual identity -- but it was interesting. The main plot, I think I told y'all before, is about black twin girls, who are extremely light-skinned. One chooses to "pass" as white and they are separated for many years.
Now I am back to my hard cover book about Harper Lee's last, unfinished novel, based on a true murder case here in Alabama. It's good too --
Twins, didn't you say you had read it? But for some reason, I cannot read nearly as fast with a real book anymore, as I can on my phone. I would never in a million years thought I would say that.
Twins, your genealogy work must be so interesting, but frustrating too. We have some puzzling trails in our family tree that run into dead ends. DS has done all the online work he can, but some things, we just have to sorta assume who the people were and let it go at that.
