I’ve been so busy the last few days, I forgot to post this….
I was making fudge and gingerbread and other goodies the other night to send to relatives. Since it involved quite a few dishes I kept trying to wash them, only to find I had no hot water. Now we use boiler heat here, so I was thinking, “Uh-oh, must be low on fuel.
And yet, I kept hearing this strange noise. Like the washer was running. The only ones home were me and the kids and I knew hubby hadn’t set a load.
So I finally go look in frustration. Sure enough the washer is on and at the end of the largest load.
Only one in the laundry room is our feral cat, Hello Kitty. 
Now you have to understand; to turn on the washer, you need first to lift up on the dial, TURN it to the selected load (which would’ve been all the way around the dial from where it last was) and PUSH the dial in with a great deal of force at just the right setting.
No, Kitty does not have thumbs.
And she was cowering in a corner because the machine makes lots of noise.
Christmas….. miracle…?
