A beautiful sight!

A thing of beauty was delivered to our house today!  

Our new washing machine:

The delivery was late, it was a bugger to get the packing bolts off of, it's a very tight fit into the space we have and it's BLUE.  But we don't care!  Our old machine died last Saturday (after a long and hard life, that was filled with getting stuck on a certain cycle, so that we would have to yell to someone to "Go goose the machine!")

It is now installed (Way to go Hilary!) and we have washed two loads already.  It's quiet, it's fast, it's efficient... we love it!  

I foresee a lot of laundry in my future as we get caught up on a week's worth.
