Today I am Thankful for modern day appliances.....I don't think I would have made it back when washboards were used to clean the clothes.....no irons, I iron my clothes daily. It's not so bad now, but when we had the kids home I used my dishwasher every night.....washing the dishes by hand YUK, they get cleaned and sterilized a lot better with the dishwasher, at least thats what I tell myself.... How about the refrigerator, stove/oven OR the microwave.... how did we survive before we had a microwave???
