RIP Dishwasher

Yep, it has been pronounced dead. With an estimate of 300.00, I escorted the repair man to the door. No thanks. Okay, so buying a new dishwasher was not on my to do list for the weekend. Sigh. I will put it there though. I never realized how much I depended on that appliance until I spent a week of washing, drying and sterilizing. Milk pails, bread bowls, canning jars, oh my! I actually dumped the milk to the chickens on days I didn't desperately need it just not to have to wash the jars and milking pails. I am now a farm girl with dish pan hands. YUK!
