I love our new house from top to bottom, but since we have lived here I have learn a phrase that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. This phrase which I speak is "No Dishwasher". Oh we have a dishwasher but we call it "Mary-Ann". I love are 1930-40's kitchen, but the only way we will get a dish washer is if the cupboards are replaced or if we get a portable dishwasher. Both are unlikely. I guess it is better know that I only have to wash for four rather than nine. The one thing about dishes at our house is that we are not the average "Now-A-Days" family (like the ones in movies). We never say "Lets just cook the Fish-Stix in the freezer tonight". We almost always have home cooked meals so it always means twice the amount of dishes. I have had it worse though. When I was younger we did Civil War camp and my little sister and I had to dishes for ten (my family plus my older sister's first husband) in a tin bucket full of hot soapy water. It may not seem like much, but to a five and three year old it might as well be washing for an army. Today we spent moving our goats to the new house. We have no pens so they are living in the barn right now. We have also started breeding today due of our lack of pens. We had to put my Nubian Buck in with our Does. We should see kids in June. Well it is time I leave. In the words of George Bernard Shaw "You see things and ask "Why?" but I dream things that never were, and I say "Why not?" Sincerely, Mary-Ann A. (P.S. The rabbits we were planning on getting fell through. So still looking.)
