I couldn't believe this...

 I thought the one I posted on the 18th on my other blog would be the last rose but this one is from Monday!  Of this week. Since the snow.

Happy Thanksgiving!  Our granddaughter is in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade...she is in the Avon Marching Band.

Why I complain....

 This is direct from the washer...it was a load of 4 Men's XXL shirts bought at a thrift store for the fabric, not to wear.  

This is just one of the 4 shirts...the others were light colored and you could not tell if they had dry spots or not.

Might I add, the deep fill is always on...and I always do the second rinse.  I really think probably almost all the new washers do this...I know my new one at our home did, my other daughter's does this.  I thought at first that this one did not except on bulky items...but i was wrong.  All three of these washers are different brands.

My thought is what if you had real sickness where you were having to do a lot of laundry...what in the world would a person do.  With doing a second rinse, this usally takes an hour and eleven minutes, but if it is sheets or towels, it takes a bit longer because of the settings I use.  

I will say besides all the extra time they require, by the time you have to redo things, plus always using the extra rinse, they waste energy at the least.  And maybe water, too but that might be a stretch because they try to use so little.

 Just a little video...if  you feel up to it, pop over to youtube and give this one a like.  It is not exactly funny, but it made Roger chuckle.  

One of the things I miss....

 I miss seeing swans...I really need to get brave and venture out to find spots here to see things.  One of these days I just might...or might just take off and head to familiar spots.   

I have not done much today...I did cut out an apron...not the feminine kind, but the kind for grilling, etc.  They are simple...and should be a quick make...I did get the ties made...but did not get the pockets cut out.  Pockets are a must for me.  

It is so dark and dreary here.  I am really needing sunshine for more than an hour or two.  Did not see it at all today...don't think I saw it yesterday.  I have forgot  what it looks like!

I am almost to the point of counting the days till the days start getting longer!  And winter has only begun.
