Is That Grandma's Underwear Hanging in That Tree?

We're on day 15 of an on going washer/dryer saga.  Don't worry, I'm not sharing the gory details.  Just know that we've been inspired, once more, by Harry Truman who was known, among other things, for washing out his own undies when he was traveling.

But we're keeping our sense of humor.  And feeling grateful for this time of year when something wonderful is happening every day.  Yesterday Dave attended a party at his art class where they had a smorgasbord of great food.  Dave loves trying a little bit of everything.  The artists exchanged cards they'd made for each other.  I attended my favorite annual Christmas lunch with my Power Rangers.  I love them so much.  Last night we had pizza and salad with family members. 

We've already given and received gifts and we've given lots of gifts to less fortunate folks.  Our church makes it easy to do.  And the parties just keep coming. 

We're feeling blessed that we have the means to do this.  And to do so many things together - like work out at the same place the Orlando Magic works out - only Dwight Howard might be turning in his towel for the last time soon. 

We're blessed that we can afford a new washer and dryer.  And that some day they will show up. 

In the meanwhile, we have laundry hanging all over this condo.  Not actually outside, however, because our condo board has strict rules about where you park your car and where you hang your undies.
