She was there....

Though television coverage did not show much, my daugher snagged this from somewhere.  That is Lorelei, it almost looks like she is stepping on to the thumb of the guy waving.

She said when they were done her hands hurt from the cold, and she was soaked...her 'uniform' her socks, her gloves.  

And below is a video I found...they were right after the train with Jimmy Fallon...if I did it correctly, it will begin with the Avon Marching band starting to march by.  Edited to add...if you expand the view to fit your screen, this really shows up good.  and if you hit the pause button at 1:27 exactly she is about exactly in the center of the screen.  

And just for one more, here is a photo of her and her dad...

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.
