On the 4th day of Christmas

On the 4th day of Christmas my true love gave to me. A new washer and dryer.


The door bell rang at 7:20am, I was sound asleep. It was the only day that I was going to be able to sleep in for weeks. I was a little confused by the RC Wiley delivery man that was standing there telling me that he had come to deliver a washer and dryer. I had no idea they were coming. Ray had arranged a "surprise" for me, they were supposed to deliver these babies at 1pm while I was working at the temple (which was closed, if dh had had the foresight to check with me) I didn't know where to put them so I said, "let's just put them in the basement laundry room". Which seemed the best solution at the time. After the delivery guys left. I called Ray and explained the early delivery, and the fact that we didn't have an external vent for the new dryer that it required. Needless to say we spent the evening, with the help of a younger friend, moving the old set from the upstairs to the basement, and the new set from the basement to the upstairs.


When I saw the condition of the upstairs laundry room, after 14 years of living. I decided not to put the new set in until I painted. First thing the next morning I set out to Lowe's to get some paint to spruce it up with. I spent all day prepping and painting. (this was not included in the holiday planning) . I painted it "sparkling sage" kinda of a blue/green.

It looks wonderful and the new washer and dryer work fantastic.
Thanks Ray
