I'd rewash and forget about it. Hey if that is the dumbest thing you've ever done, you're pretty dang smart! You wanna hear some stories about truly DUMB things???? BTW, be careful about endorsing "cold" washes. Most laundry folks recommend "cold" as being from 70° to 90°. I just checked my water temperature and my cold water now is about 40°. That's not good for washing much of anything effectively. Next load I can, I'm going to check what "warm" actually is in the washer. Since it's in the basement and the tub is (room temperature) "cold", it'll cool the water some anyway so a "warm" setting probably is what is recommended for "cold". I'm thinking about rigging up something to make a warmer rinse water available. When I notice something isn't rinsed well, I usually do a warm cycle as a rinse.

Thank you for sharing that precious bundle with us all. The family's use of my middle name has caused me trouble. Today every official document has to have my legal name on it. I've had to change credit cards, airline reservations, etc. to 'match' my legal name. Before surgery I have to make sure the recovery room staff knows I won't answer to my first name when coming out of anesthesia. I once sat in a college class wonding why some dumb girl wasn't answering the professor. (I only realized *I* was being called on when he added the surname.) You want to call your child "Sue"? Make that her legal name, not her middle name. Or call her "Susan" if you want to call her "Sue" -- another bit of confusion when people assume my name is short for something else. A cousin named a child "Leaf" back in the hippie era. She changed her name when she started school and changed it legally as soon as she was old enough to do so.

We are in the final stages of building our home. It has taken me two solid years of searching for the right person to do my cabinets. I've interviewed several, and I even wasted some money by starting to work with a couple who claimed they were on the same page as I was but who weren't......as by their push for what "they" liked and thought I should have. I stuck to my guns and kept searching. I do not like staggered cabinets but they were continually being pushed on me. They didn't know how to deal with a large vintage style sink I am using. They kept wanting to line all of them up like lawyer office cabinets, crowd my window trim, etc. I gave up and figured I would use metal cabinets and a couple of tables until I found the right person. Finally one Saturday my husband was doing a search to find Conestoga cabinets so we could purchase some and put them in ourselves. By then I had sketched out what I wanted, but still needed a skilled person to figure the dimensions, etc. Well, we found someone. A treasure of a husband and wife team who make custom cabinets. She has an art degree and has considerable experience in restoring vintage kitchens. She saw immediately what I wanted and we are like twins in our thinking. She made sure she understood how I cook. We now only have minor tweaking in a few details and we are ready to start work. The reason for my long winded story here is to encourage you to follow your heart no matter how long it takes to find the right person. Do not settle. It can be frustrating, time consuming, and very tiring, but it has been more than worth it. I will get up every day for the rest of my life loving this kitchen. Loving your kitchen will inspire you to cook wonderful things in it. Something you don't love will irritate you the rest of your life. Also, be wary of anyone wanting a chunk of money ahead of even talking to you and starting a design. You have no way of knowing if that person will listen to you and you can work together. It is fair for someone to not release a design you like without compensation, but we have lost several thousand dollars on people who claimed they would design something nice, knew what I wanted, but as soon as the check was cashed they could have cared less. The lady I am working with now never asked for a cent up front. Sandy

Went to the mall which we rarely do because it drives both of us crazy. I got a new pair of my favorite ear rings. Hubby got 3 new suits for work, hit some sales. Thank goodness for my scooter. Went to Willies for dinner. Am crashed out in my recliner. Oh I did fix breakfast for us this morning.
