Our dryer is broken. The repair man is supposed to come out tomorrow to look at it. We're praying that it can be easily (and cheaply) fixed.
In the meantime, we had to make a trip to the laundry mat with the dirty clothes. I washed some at home and took them there to dry them. We still had a huge pile of laundry to wash. $50 in quarters later we have all the laundry clean for once and a HUGE pile of clean socks that need to be matched up. And just so you know I'm not kidding about how huge a pile it is...
And then the reward for our efforts:
We have a ton of socks! Of course we have 12 feet to cover in this house so we need quite a bit of socks. However I don't think we need this many. I still have a hamper of whites to match tomorrow morning when there is better light. At the end of the weekend what doesn't have a match gets a new home in the TRASH CAN! Yes I'm going to throw them away!
One of my resolutions this year is to let go of excess things. This is where I'm starting! And all thanks to a broken dryer.
In Christ's Love,
Peg

Did you know that old clothing can be recycled? Whether it's unwanted, torn, or stained, organizations like your local mission might take them. They bale them, send them off to the recycler, and get funds!
