(((Kathy))) What a dreadfiul thing to happen to you at this time. I am happy, though, that hubby will be home for your holiday and to help.

I never use dishwasher or washing machine and then leave the house with them running anymore! Learned that lesson the hard way! One year my daughter and I heard horrible noises coming from the laundry room. The connection to the valve had burst open and water was flying everywhere ferociously!

Much love to you and a cyber cup of coffe for a very dear friend.
