Covering all the bases . . .

Whenever I put a load of laundry in the washer, I always pray a thank you that the hardest part of the job is putting the laundry in and and taking it out. Sure beats pounding dirty clothing on a rock by a creek. Besides, finding a creek in California isn't that easy with a drought. Got reminded that I might remember to send up a thank you for the benefits of a dryer, too.

Just as my husband drove off to work, yesterday, after having repaired the automatic gargage door opener, the dryer went into spin mode while emitting very loud BUMP/CLUNK noises. I hastily stopped it and decided the better course of action would be hanging up the damp clothes and waiting for my husband's return from work. After all, what husband wouldn't be pleased with yet another breakdown of household equipment on the same day?

Although our week of rain had let up, it was a very cold day yesterday and a garage isn't the best place to get a whole load of clothes dry. Once the dryer gets fixed, I will double my laundry prayers to include it. Finding a patch of clean, dry grass in a sunny place to dry ones clothing is as hard as finding that laundry rock in a creek. Another way for God to remind us to pray because you tend to not appreciate your blessings until they go on a short vacation!
