New Dryer

Mom went back to work on Saturday. She only worked the one day last week. She will be working two days this week.

Last Thursday she went out to lunch with five other ladies. They went to Red Lobster. It must have been good because she didn't bring home any doggie bags, not even a cheese biscuit.

Her Clothes Dryer died last Thursday. Dad tried to fix it. He is usually pretty good at that stuff but this time, alas. Sunday He and Mom went looking for a dryer. They came back without buying one.They went out again Monday. They even went to a place that has the most annoying commercials on TV. They had lots of "Junk". They even had some scratch and dent merchandise. One dryer had the whole front smashed in and they still wanted over $250.00 for it. Mom said she wouldn't even take it as a gift.

They ended up at a second Lowes which had the dryer Mom originally wanted, in stock. The first one they went to didn't have one and it was an 8 to 10 day wait.

Mom and Dad brought it home in the truck, installed it and we were drying clothes by mid afternoon. The clothes originally washed had to be washed over again. They stayed wet too long.

This morning she gave both Skeeter and I a bath. We escaped the new dryer but used lots of towels. They are in the dryer. Skeeter loves warm towels.

Today's quote is from a TV commercial.

"If you didn't buy it at .........you paid too much."

At least Mom has one that's this year's model and no dents.
