life's little pleasures, or necessities

Over the last weeks our dishwasher has been showing its age. First, dishes not so clean, then even more not so clean. Craig, ever the handy husband pulled it apart and cleaned all the filters and hoses etc, but still, not so clean. Finally he determined that of the three cycles per wash, it was only filling with water on one. So, you could use it if willing to fill manually with jugs of water on the other two. Today we bought a new one which will be installed this week. Yippee.
