C L

Thanks for everything y'all said yesterday on my post.  It had been a trying day.  I have some things to do this morning and I will go check on Diane and Rodney after that.  I didn't have the dreaded text so far, so I am thinking things are the same with them.

Last night we went to our Investment Counselor's party at the L'Berge Casino.  Seems that is the hot place to have upscale parties.  And yes, I wore a dress.  The same one I wore to Jason's wedding 4 years ago.  I figured it would recycle nicely since it snowed on Jason's wedding day in Colorado.

It was a warmish rainy day here, but the temps dropped as the front came through and there was tremendous fog when we left the Casino.  It sits on the Mississippi River and we thought the fog was just hanging on the River.  But we were still foggy at the house 9 miles inland.

Warm day plus cold night always brings fog.

Today is crisp and cold and clear and bright.

So you are wondering what CL in the title means, huh?

Well, I woke up with a migraine around 4 am.  Frank decided he would help and moved the rather large basket full of dirty clothes to the washing machine.

He wanted to add water, machines these days use a minimal amount of water.  But you can increase the water level simply by pushing a button that says "Add Water"  or something close to that.

Somehow, he pushed the button combination that activates the Child Lock.  And we were locked out of the washing machine.  Of course he had no idea what buttons he pushed.

And of course, he couldn't find the booklet for the machine.  He unplugged the machine several times but the display continued to read CL in flashing letters.

So, I guess the basket of dirty clothes will continue to increase until someone figures out who to remove the child lock.

  1. It should read HL - Husband Lock! Stelly infected him from way over here. REMEMBER to store those good memories during this time so the sheer volume will overwhelm the bad. Only way I have made it since December,2017. BH clue 4 is out - paper pieced string blocks.

  2. So go online and look up the combination. Personally, I think I would just go buy new clothes. Heck with washing them! Hugs,

  3. No directions to remove the child lock on the internet? Hard to believe.

  4. Text me your washing machine make and model and I’ll send ray to unlock it!

    I thought about what to say about Rodney. I searched your page and got to know more about him. I will tell you I remember more the people that showed up while Mark was still alive than I do that showed up at the funeral. And then there are those that showed up after, after. All this to say that showing up and being there will mean a lot more than attending a funeral. You’re doing angels work....

  5. I agree with Swooze. I've thought about myself sometimes. Why come when I'm gone when you didn't see me when I was alive. But then I remember the comfort I felt by the visitors when my dad died. Geez. I have one of those new washers. Mine locks too, but I sure hope it doesn't have a CL. Terry is the kind of guy that doesn't read instructions...EVER. Just starts pushing buttons and see where it leads. I hope he never tries to help with the laundry.
