We got the new dryer on Sunday and it is such a blessing! It dries so easily on a low setting. I think next time I do a diaper wash, I'll see if I can use medium heat instead of high. Also, the box it came in is a very fun house, it even has its own window.

I just realized what actually happened. The dryer wasn't offended; it just knew it was on its deathbed, and managed to communicate that fact to Heather. :)

Jonathan and I spent an afternoon a week or two ago at the mall, getting boots and checking out washers and dryers while Heather and Noah were at a baby shower.

The front loading washers are neat since Jonathan would be able to use them, but after talking with Heather, she really only wants a new dryer, and the high-efficiency washers would maybe be nice, but needed at the moment. So, when the time comes for a new washer, we will revisit that question, but for now, we will keep the washer we have.

Oooo, I can't wait to hear about the new one! Did you get a washer, too? I do understand the offended appliance phenomenon. I'm glad our refrigerator is the forgiving sort, and is still working even though we went so far as to drag it to the garage, and drag it back when the delivery men couldn't get the new one into the house.... (Long story)

I was thinking it was kind of like the widow's oil and flour. As soon as the new one is available, the old one runs out. Of course, since we won't pick it up until Sunday, I have to take the clothes to the laundromat for a week.
