We didn't have a washer for a long while after we moved out to the country cause we had a lousy well, so we'd take the laundry to a laundromat. <br />Our Dad took the baby's diapers to wash along with the rest of the laundry, and instead of keeping them separate, he tossed them in the washer with a set of purple throw rugs from my bedroom. <br />It wasn't bad enough the baby's diapers came out lavender, when Dad went to put them in the dryer at the laundromat, a red ball point pen fell out of his shirt pocket unnoticed into the dryer with them, and they ended up going home to Mom lavender with red blotches. She was NOT pleased, but loved showing our paternal Grandmother what her son had done to his son's diapers. LOL<br />Next time she washed them, she tossed bleach in with them, and they came out better.<br />God bless.<br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-91478282037318194562014-11-16T04:59:30.947-08:002014-11-16T04:59:30.947-08:00Sam I am and Michelle, Timmy loves his winter shel...Sam I am and Michelle, Timmy loves his winter shelter.

We didn't have a dryer until a while after we moved out to the country, and the basement was dirt floor, not suitable for hanging clothes to dry, though they'd have dried down there in a jiffy with the old coal furnace going.<br /><br />What a blessing the cats like the tote houses.<br /><br />I thought we'd get some spiders when we brought in all the large house plants that we scatter about the yard during the summer, but we haven't seen any. Guess they folded up their tents and went to hibernate (or whatever) before we brought the plants inside.<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-26641050414347637302014-11-14T20:18:48.070-08:002014-11-14T20:18:48.070-08:00Glad to hear your mother is better.

I only see one every week or so but a couple of nights ago when I tritzed into the bathroom for a quick stop at 2:30 a.m., there was one right on top of the toilet lid. Eeeuuuw!<br /><br />Yay for your mom being home. Hope the diagnosis was not serious.<br /><br />Those winter cat houses are the cat's meow.
