My washer and dryer have been running continuously for about a week now. All three of my sons are briefly in residence at the tiny condo. The guys are large people now. They have work clothes, gym clothes, and leisure clothes. They have many, many towels because showering is their life. They have towels and rags from washing their three vehicles. One son has the towels he uses to plug the places where his car roof leaks. These Star Trek crew members have the dress shirts they wore to our family portrait photo sitting that need to be washed and ironed. Add in the black dress socks. Add in the white crew socks from the Blues Brothers son who was just released from Joliet.
Now add to that the rags, towels, and art smocks from work. Then the pirate costumes with the make-up stains--must have been Johnny Depp's eyeliner!
It was taking a long time for the loads to dry. Time to move all the toolboxes, hangers, small change, lonely hearts club socks, and abandoned Christmas tree decorations off the dryer to extricate the lint trap. Ooh-la-la! The thick blanket of dryer lint was layered in pastel colors. It looked like a recipe for Jello and Dream Whip that I received in a packet in home ec. class in 1968.
