TheBanyanTree: Dishwasher

[Bill]

I used to tell everyone I already had a dishwasher when they said something 
about me buying one. I did buy one for Kathryn about the time we retired so 
she wouldn't have to wash dishes any more. Guess what?? She almost never 
used it. Said there was no use using it for the few dishes we used so we 
sold it.

Still His Servant
