Christmas 2008

For years, our washing machine provided the opener for this annual letter. As loud as a jumbo jet, the antiquated old doll gave us annual entertainment. A few years ago, I replaced her with a top-o-the-line front loader, and laundry stories, well, dried up. This new gal is ... BORING. I feared that I'd wrung out all of the amusing anecdotes that I could. The laundry was all washed up for holiday openers.
