After nearly 30 years in Japan I have almost forgotten there is such a thing as a dishwasher! And the only time I see a dryer is on our vacation - but its VERY SMALL and we only use it for emergencies.Laurie Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050638909884384881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773840108725992135.post-4066854236717622242008-07-30T20:10:00.000-07:002008-07-30T20:10:00.000-07:00Dear Tami,I am so glad that you are saving electri...Dear Tami,<BR/><BR/>I am so glad that you are saving electricity but you are also finding enjoyment in the tasks that need to be performed everyday.<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/><BR/>mariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5773840108725992135.post-9378579652807333962008-07-30T14:32:00.000-07:002008-07-30T14:32:00.000-07:00We also use our dishwasher as a giant drying rack....We also use our dishwasher as a giant drying rack. ((smiles))<BR/><BR/>I am very content right now with not using the dryer. Come winter, I might use it some, especially with the cloth diapers. Quite frankly, I'm not looking forward to it. <BR/><BR/>The book sounds like a good read. I got inspired just reading what you quoted here (and a few more pages from Amazon). We could all use that motivation, I think.<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed and productive week to you also.<BR/><BR/>Very much enjoyed this post,<BR/>FloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
