I need a dishwasher! One that is at least 6' tall, and muscular with a cheery disposition and (aa my late Nana used to say), has a nice view from the behind. :-) Since I didn't see one in the classifides this morning, I guess it is up to me.
Can you sell a quilt and buy a mechanical dishwasher? I have a little robot vacuum cleaner that runs around keeping the floors clean.. It has the artificial intelligence of a cricket...and is called a roomba, and it is easy to pick threads out of its roller / brushes.
Can you trade table toppers or baby quilts for help cleaning, from some of our younger children occupied quilters? Call it a quilter's retreat, they go home with a finished project, anf your house is more orderly.
They just might enjoy a half day out - away from the clamor?
I remember that I would have. There is some kind of magic about helping in somebody elses house.J

ps I used to have a friend, when I was young, and we would clean each other's houses together, talking a blue streak! Never has been as good since then!

Finished the project I was working on when I got distracted with the DWR idea. Not perfect, as some of the Geese wings got clipped in flight I think. 3rd UFO I've finished. Now off to DWR world. (It only looks un-square because it's pinned to my LR drapes.)
