the laundry

I just finished my last load of laundry. Finally. I am ready to put it in the dryer and realize that I forgot to add the bleach! Do you ever do that? It feels like a wasted load.

From the report we got when Grant got home, they had a lot of fun. . .but it does get "just a little boring!" The most exciting part of the day was when the rock got stuck in the combine.
