Our dryer broke this past week. My parents graciously offered to buy us one as a present, which is generous of them. I’m in no hurry to buy a new dryer, I find. When I lived in Iowa, I had to drive 15 miles to the nearest laundry machine. The laundromat in our town […]
Last week, we talked about moving. In the end, we decided we’d have too much to tie up in too short a time. Wow, it was strange, though, to have my mind thinking ahead to Iowa. Yes, Iowa again.
