Jed washed the dishes once for me and when I got back from my VT interview. He looked at me and said "This is a symbol of my love. I hate this. If I had to wash the dishes everyday the dishwasher would be fixed by now." :) Yes Rubber gloves are a blessing and a miracle. Have a great holiday. I will be thinking about you today, and not just because we will both be wearing rubber gloves.The Romig Chronicleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639276383975824276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058900582972898021.post-51233880687981287642011-11-24T08:32:58.493-08:002011-11-24T08:32:58.493-08:00I feel for ya Ang!

I would miss my dishwasher, if for no other reason than it gives me a place to 'hide' dirty dishes! =] <br /><br />My family decided a few years back that we were going to use paper plates and cups for Thanksgiving. The most important thing about Thanksgiving (besides the pie, I mean!) is being together with family. So we decided that it was worth it to spend more time with family and less time washing the fancy dishes, by hand no less! (And with 30 people, that's a LOT of dishes!) Have a wonderful holiday!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10800227053983479088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058900582972898021.post-41676074998007795552011-11-24T05:30:32.670-08:002011-11-24T05:30:32.670-08:00So very memorable.

We went for five years without a dishwasher, but our girls were trained to work together as a team to get that job done well... aside from a few (ahem, maybe MORE than a few) soap or water or towel fights, we survived in our rugged Vermont existence. Although they sometimes had "fun", it's a job neither of them enjoy today! At the very least, they know HOW to train their family to do the necessary job efficiently. Make good use of paper plates, and "pretty" plates for special days! Have a wonderful thanksgiving!B.E.Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656749660483400035noreply@blogger.com
