All washed up!

Our battle with appliances continues. This week our clothes washing machine died. The last time we had it serviced, the service man said we should replace it when it breaks again. So we went out and decided on one of those new-fangled front loading washing machines. And we got the matching dryer to boot...because then we could stack them on top of each other, saving floor space in the tiny basement of our tiny house. We went with GE...partially because we own their stock but more so because we were able to get a good deal on them.

The GE Frontload Washer/Dryer Pair we purchased...at Sears...

Paul bought our old washing machine/dryer off of a relative some years ago. On it was a picture of Jesus (from the Sacred Heart Auto League) which his relative had put on it...back in 1984/1985. We're not sure what the SHAL has to do with appliances, but we can't complain as we got many good years (10+) out of those appliances. When our washing machine died this week, Michele got it to work again briefly...enough to empty out the water left in the tub. Then the picture of Jesus from SHAL fell off the washing machine...the masking tape from 20 years ago gave out. Michele tried to put the picture back on the machine, but the tape would no longer hold it. The washing machine has not worked since. So we took it as a message from a higher authority that it was time to get a new machine.

The Sacred Heart Auto League...they apparently have pull w/appliances too!
