This past week was eventful. Our first grandchild left on his mission. He was able to come and say goodbye to us in the hospital where Craig had just had surgery. Craig's surgery went well, but the recovery has been somewhat difficult as is usually the case with surgery. He is getting a little better each day.
I accidentally dropped a plastic toy in the chute where the lint filter goes. I helped Craig the day before surgery remove the back and turned it almost upside down to see if we could shake it out. It didn't work. The day after his surgery I put the back of the dryer back on and hooked it back up again. It was a little tricky, but I did it and it felt good to know that I could. Even though a repairman told us over the phone, to go ahead and operate it and it should be no problem. After two loads, it started to sound like it was going to explode. It stopped suddenly just as I went to check on it. It was an old dryer and we ordered a new one. It will come next week and it will be nice to have a dryer again. I also finished a small quilt this week while Dad was resting.
