The washer arrived a couple of days ago and I am checking it out this morning. The price is still the same, $1.50 per load which is a miracle in itself. The dryer is still 75 cents but the first round never gets the clothes really dry.
My package arrived yesterday and I am having a blast with it. Check the link if you want to know what it is. It is all loaded from your computer and the screen is touch. This has been (check link) a hobby of mine since the seventies when the things required crystals.
So now you all know that I do have a hobby, other than knitting which I haven’t touched since I moved here. I need some nagging from some of my readers out there that knit. Happy One?? I used to knit a lot when I was working at the AFB. I would take my knitting bag with me and knit until time to go to work and on my lunch hour. I really like knitting, it is just that I have a lot more things to do here than I did at home.
The weather is gorgeous here again today but is to warm into the 90s. Maybe some rain on Sunday, that is the forecast anyway.
I need to cut this short as I have to go check my laundry. I also have to grocery shop this morning.
I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe and be happy!!
Beth
Good morning! If I ever learned to knit it would be a miracle. I have no skill at all but I had the wish to learn. Some people (me) can't take a step without a note saying which foot. (me). xox
ReplyDeleteHaven't knitted in years, loved to crochet though. It's more of a winter thing..summer and outside is better to enjoy now.You can knit when it is ten above and snowing. Going to be warm here today too. Will check out your link and see what you are into these days. Me..nothing much. LOL take care of you Sis.. XXOO
ReplyDeleteP.S. Dad loved to listen to ours but they switched to digital frequency and so the old machines didn't work anymore.We still have the old one and NOAA works on it amazingly well. Enjoy your new hobby.
DeleteMy Mom loves to do needle point and has framed some of her projects...me? I don't think I'd ever have the patience for it. The weather has been pretty amazing though still way too dry here. Have a great Thursday my friend.
ReplyDeleteI used to do needlepoint, but when computers could do it faster and just as good as I could, I gave it up---took too much time and effort. Still have a photo album of my "creations" on shirts! Enjoy knitting again when you are stuck inside---especially during winter and power outages!
ReplyDeleteCurrently I am learning knitting in the round. I love it but I am finding my fingers hurt quite a bit afterward. maybe I just need to get more use to it. My daughter had an app on her IPAD to hear stuff going on all over the world it seemed ( don't ask me how that was possible!) but she took the app off...I think she was sick of me borrowing her Ipad..I found it fasinating! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
So glad for you that the new washer arrived! My Mom was a great knitter. Sadly, I only know the basics. Enjoy your new/old hobby. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a new washer and dryer! Mine are from the caveman days!
ReplyDeleteI used to knit when I was younger...no time now and I wonder if I remember!!
XO,
Jane
Interesting. Because my husband was once a policeman we have always had a scanner going. He turns it on every evening just to see what is going on in the area. It is programed for all sorts of communications. Enjoy your old hobby.
ReplyDeleteWho knew we would ever be so excited about a new washer?!?:) I agree - it's a miracle that the cost per load hasn't increased!
ReplyDeleteI knitted many years ago, but haven't done any in a long time. I still have my knitting bag, with yarn in it, even!:) Guess I think I'm going to begin again.;)
Haven't checked out your package, but I'll do that now.

It has got to be a blessing to have a washing machine again. Is it a community washer that you must pay per load? Still better than hauling laundry all over.
ReplyDeleteYes, I live in a 4 plex and I share the washer and dryer with 3 other people.
DeleteOur scanner sits quietly on top of the TV and that's just how I like it lol. In fact, it might not work anymore now that they went digital but who knows. It's been turned off for so long now that I have no idea if it works or not. I'm glad you enjoy it though. I use too but anymore noise of any kind just drives me up the wall. Hope you are well and doing good. I really need to get back into the swing of things again. Maybe when school starts I will. Take care k!
ReplyDeleteBeth,
ReplyDeleteI laughed at nookworm about her scanner. My mom had one and she would listen then call all us kids to see if we were okay, if she heard of a wreak. LOL Maybe you will knit again with the cooler weather around the corner. Smiles, Susie
Get out those needles and start knitting. : ) It is a great way to relax. How about knitting while watching television?
ReplyDeleteI know there are so many things to do so you just have to pick the things that are good for you at the time. I guess we could all use a few more extra hours each day!
Oooo laundry is so fun!!:) Looks like a fun little toy to play with. It's good to be safe.:)
ReplyDeleteGlad your washer/dryer situation has worked out well.
ReplyDeleteI too like to knit but really haven't done much since I started quilting. I agree with Caroldee that it is more logical to knit in winter. But I do miss it.
Enjoy your day.
How or why do you pay for laundry at home??? sandie
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeletePleased you can again do your laundry. Still warm/hot your end, here it is a little cooler, but still quite warm and mostly dry and sunny.
Have a good weekend. Hugs Nita
Beth you should knit again!! My grandmother and mother and sister have all known how to knit, but poor Paula was born a lefty and just couldn't get the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteHappy laundry day to you :))

I wish I knew how to knit or crochet. I once did cross stitch but my neck hurts too bad now!
ReplyDeleteI had laundry and grocery shopping today, also.
Glad you can wash your laundry again. I'ts a good hobby knowing whats happening around the town...touch screen? wow. It got pretty hot today here. I can crochet, but I just do my own thing, no pattern.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are liking your washing machine. I need to go check out your link to see what you are up to---xo Diana
ReplyDeleteYour laundry is a bargain! Glad everything is working as it should. I used to knit, but I never finished anything except a dishcloth! I started a sweater, but it got bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until I finally shoved it all in a bag with the rest of the yarn and sold it for a buck at my garage sale. No more knitting.
ReplyDeleteThankful the price didn't go up! Interesting headstones in the cemetery! I haven't been to see my dad at the cemetery in almost a year. He's just so far away, 2 1/2 hours and I have such a hard time in the car lately with my back. I will go in a few weeks. Hope you're having a nice day!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, I'm happy that you can do your laundry again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my music blog.
Yes, Nine to five is a fun movie, but I like most things with Dolly Parton in them. I taught myself to play guitar three years ago. It is probably the easiest instrument to learn, or I could not have done it. Now I play and sing with our local Old Time Fiddlers group and at nursing homes around town. I'm an old dog that just learned a new trick. Have a great weekend, Connie :)
I'm not a knitter so I won't be nagging you. ;0) Glad you are able to do your laundry again.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend my friend...
ReplyDeletehugs, kisses & smiles :-)
I hope you'll still have time for us, with an update on your old hobby. I used to knit all the children's clothes, as we mum's of the 50's and 60's did, now all I do is the occasional tea cosy LOL, a friend of mine knits lovely Arran jumpers, [sweaters] Enjoy the nice weather, before we know it it'll be winter again, it comes round too soon hewn we get older.
ReplyDeleteYou are an amzing woman of many talents & dimensions! I am humbled by your creativity. If you know anyone that does ponchos, I want/need one (with a hood & pockets). *lol*
