This week was a big week for us.

We had washer / dryer hookups put into our garage with new electrical work to support it.

We bought a beautiful large capacity washer and dryer.

The freedom of doing laundry at home is something often taken for granted.

Laundry at home means being present to care for loved ones that need assistance. It means flexibility to do laundry around other chores and at time frames that work best for us, not based on business hours.

While this may seem simple, it is actually a huge stress relief.

Not everyone is so fortunate.

If I were the richest person in the world, I would spend time working to make sure people had food to eat and clean water, safe places to rest / sleep, opportunities for education, and laundry where they stay.
