As I was taking a load of clothes out of the dryer today, it occurred to me that this machine really works hard. Just to think that dryer does 3-4 loads a day every day of the week. Wow, what a wonderful appliance. Then I remembered what my mother said on her 90th birthday. I asked her in your life what was the greatest invention?
She was quick to tell me the Dryer was. It made me wonder in her life time there has been so many inventions, why would the dryer be the greatest. She told me it may not save lives or do amazing things, but it saved her so many hours doing clothes. Well I do remember the clothes lines in the back yard and sometimes in the basement. But here is the thing you washed and hung all those clothes out, sometimes it took all day to dry and sometimes a bird did his number on the clothes and the cycle started again. When you finally got them all dried, you brought them in to iron every single item. Now that is a ton of work and lots of time. No wonder she said the Dryer was the greatest invention for her.
All of this gives me a great appreciation for all the wonders of today. To just think about how ever thing we have today was not here just 100 years ago. They did not have lights, running water, central heat or air conditioning. I am sure grateful for all the wonderful inventions I have to use today. Thank you…
