First time for umpteen years. I decided to enjoy the manual process, trying to connect to times past when such luxuries were unheard of. I enjoy that soapy, dopey experience now! (Nowhere to fit a dishwasher, so I'd better enjoy!) :)Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568183101637683554.post-83906021093367841422013-08-05T23:50:22.586-04:002013-08-05T23:50:22.586-04:00Exactly!
