We Can Fix It!

The past few weeks, we have had a run of bad luck. From Friday to Friday, first a deer hit Marshall's car, our washing machine died, and the compressor on the refrigerator had to be replaced. Everyone kept saying, "these things seem to come in threes." But, in our case, they seem to come in fours. Now our dishwasher has died. My daddy, Marshall, and Charlie tried to fix it and had it working, but it quit again two days later. They aren't finished trying. They have a plan. Keep your fingers crossed. We need a run of good luck this month.

Things I've learned:

1. You should vacuum under the refrigerator once a year to prevent the compressor from burning up.

2. A tiny plastic twist top off of the cheap plastic bottled drinks the kids like can float around in the dishwasher for months before it finds that perfect spot to lock up the motor on the dishwasher. (We only buy those drinks at the beach. We had a few leftovers that they finished off at home in June, and the dishwasher broke in October.)

3. Marshall's car acts as a deer magnet. (Not his first.)

4. I need a heavy duty washing machine.
