I knew how busy Britt was with two young children. The house she rented didn't have a dishwasher. To make things easier for her I bought her a (used but in good condition) portable dishwasher. The house she just bought has a dishwasher so I got the portable one. We had it for almost a week waiting to have enough dirty dishes to run the dishwasher. When we bought our house twelve years ago it didn't have a dishwasher. I foolishly gave the portable one I had away when we moved in. Someday (*sigh*) I hope to have one installed under the counter.
Speaking of washing dishes, the only dish detergent I buy is DAWN (something about the name appeals to me!!!!). When I bought dishwasher detergent I bought some Cascade that has DAWN in it. It's hard to mess with tradition!
If I don't get to your blog I promise to catch up soon. Last night was Open House and I didn't get home until late. I was so stuffed up I couldn't breathe and the NyQuil just knocked me out.
take care,
Dawn

Hi Dawn,
Hope you are feeling better today. I know how tough it can be to teach school with a head cold!
Congratulations on the 'new to you' dishwasher! One word of warning....unloading them is not much fun. LOL

Well bummer, that you are feeling yuck! Don't you be drinking (ha!) too much of that Nyquil.
And, I'm so glad you got your dishwasher. Don't tell Dawn, but I use Palmolive for my dishwasher.
Hope your feeling better today. I couldn't do without my dishwasher.
Hi Dawn, I have a dishwasher , but it dont work...:( and I hate hate hate hate did I mention hate doin the dishes. Cheers Debra.
I sure hope that you are feeling better today. A cold sounds like nothing, unless you're the one who has it!
I suggest using a liquid to wash dishes. Our dishwasher install guy told us that there are fewer repairs with people who use liquid rather than powders. Cascade is the brand I buy too.
Dawn, I hope you feel better soon. A cold, ugh, I am afraid to go in public places right now. A cold would be too much with the knee too.
Your story about the dishes makes me laugh. The girls always get the dishes job. My mom cooked and she always said, 'the cook is not the bottle washer." We girls always sang in harmony when we did the dishes. No time for arguing. To this day, if we are in the kitchen, we still try to sing the songs we once knew and it is pitiful.lol
I hope you enjoy the dishwasher. The problem is, it takes up so much room. Sigh. Better than nothing though.
Hugs, Jeanne
I washed dishes by hand for years, and was so excited when I got a portable dishwasher that I didn't know what to do! Now that I don't HAVE to wash by hand, I find it almost therapeutic when I do a little hand washing, like crystal or stemware. There's something about the warm soapy water that washes my troubles away!
Hi Dawn! I hope you feel better soon!
We had a portable dishwasher for years! I hate doing dishes too!
Get some good rest!
