Steve and I know what we are getting for Christmas! A new top loading washing machine!
We woke up to water on the floor of the laundry room. Not only was the floor in that room wet, but down below in the lower level was also dripping wet. It was an early morning of water clean up!
I used every towel in our linen closet that I could find. Our washer was acting up the last 6 times we washed clothes. It didn't run through the entire cycle. So everything was always soaking wet, back it went for the spin cycle, sometimes two times. That should have been our clue to just get a new washer! Nope, we had to wait till this happened. Don't ask why we never invested in a $30 dollar water drip try for under the washer! Lesson learned again. Yep, we've done this before. Seems it's a 10 year or less cycle. I'm done with the front loading. It's a pain to bend down and stick in the clothes. Plus, this is where it leaks. So Merry Christmas to us! Well, my next story might seem like our water/broken washing machine is nothing!
It was a nice 39*F winter day. Still no snow on the ground. We took a walk in our favorite area. On either side is private property, old military area. We saw a car parked in the trespassing area. No people. We thought maybe they were out walking too? We park in an area along a corn field. A cop drove up to us and asked if that was our car. We kept walking then turned around and walked back towards the car. We spotted the people coming out of an area clearly marked trespassing was illegal. We saw the cop driving towards us so we pointed toward the couple. We could hear the cop asking if they saw the signs. I couldn't hear what they said, but we were able to walk back to our car and we still didn't see the cop car drive away. Steve thought the fine was around $30. I Googled it 1000 - 3000 and up to 90 days in Jail. Wow, just Wow! Things have changed since he got a trespassing citation as a teen for walking through the cemetery at night after they closed.
