Laundry Day Country Style

With the current ‘red’ alert on septic issues, we are not doing any laundry here at Glory Farm.  We were off to the laundromat, a place we’d yet to experience here in the country.  We had a teeny bit of laundry to do……and managed to get 7 loads done in 2 1/2 hours and make a new friend.

Our New Friend and My Loving Spouse started chatting, which if you know My Spouse is no surprise.  We never did actually learn his name, but did learn that his wife died 5 years ago after they’d been married 49 years.  He might be lonely, but he ‘doesn’t have enough time to break in another woman’….

We got our 7 washers going and discussed going to Bi-Mart.  (Bi-Mart as a store falls in the realm somewhere between Big Lots and Target).

I was a tad nervous to leave the laundromat, because people have been known to have their clothes taken.  Our New Friend offered to watch our clothes for us.  I told him my flannel cow pj’s were in there so keep a really good eye on them, to which he laughed, which made me wonder how good a watch dog he’d be.  However, as there was really no one else in the laundromat, we decided to run down the road to B-Mart and asked Our New Friend, if he needed anything.

‘Nope, I am good…..  Oh, well if they have any 10 inch tortillas.  I need those’

‘Okay, I will look for them….corn or flour?’ 

‘Flour, I never gotten use to corn.’

‘Gotcha’

I found the tortillas, did our other business and hustled back to the laundromat.  The clothes were not only still safe, but were just finishing their wash.  Our New Friend gave me a tutorial on Laundromat Dryers and I gave him his tortillas, our small gift, because that is just life in the country…and I love it.

There is another observation I’ve made living in the country, almost every store has recliner chairs for sale…big puffy ones.  It seems a lot of people like these.  I will have to say, that it has never really been my decorating style…

Bi-Mart takes the recliner to an all new level…camo…really?
