Husbands who work miracles . . .

My dryer is back to working order thanks to my husband who is up to any appliance challenge. A couple of hours of hands-on labor plus research on the Internet and my dryer is functioning again for the cost of $60 for parts. I think we got away a lot cheaper doing it ourselves and not calling a repairman and then waiting two days or more for him to show up.

I was twice as thankful today to pull the warm, softly scented laundry from the depths of the dryer. Waiting two days for laundry to dry on the line during a damp season just wasn't working for me.

My husband is very good about tackling new repair problems. He is one of those people who ALWAYS read the directions first. Just shows me that opposites DO attract! When he wants to do a task, he does the research and is more often than not, very successful.

Somone told me that I am able to cook and bake because my mother knew how to cook and bake. Always seems to take away from my kitchen conquests. When it comes to the kitchen, I was pretty much a novice but knew how to read a cookbook. Like my husband, when I want to do something, I look it up.

Another storm coming in this evening but I'm okay with that. MY DRYER WORKS!
