Yesterday the kitchen island was covered with dishes. And the floor was crowded with a brand new dishwasher. Time for some kitchen help.
So many dishes – so little counter space.
Somehow my whole “I Don’t Do Dishes Anymore” stance has fallen by the wayside in the face of our broken down dishwasher. The kids have done a marvelous job trying to stay on top of the mess, but we’re continually overrun with more dishes.
Please, hurry, someone install this!
I think it’s mainly because we don’t have a system or set up for handwashing all the dishes. Plus, we really like to store our messy cookware and unwashed plates, cups, and silverware in the dishwasher and not on the counter. How else can we keep up any kind of a facade that the house is clean?
Sarah was the first to load the new dishwasher.
Thankfully Tim is very good to me, and let me pick out a beautiful, new dishwasher. We waited and waited for Lowes to deliver the new, shiny appliance. Every day Sarah and I would whine and fuss and hope TODAY would be the day it was delivered. Okay, maybe not quite that dramatic. I mean, Sarah and I would NEVER complain of fuss about such things.
When it did finally arrive, we had to suffer and wait one more day for the handy men Tim hired to come and put it in for us. Talk about torture here. Or maybe, we should just go ahead and admit that these are definitely first world problems and say how blessed we are. Indeed, there was much rejoicing when the dishwasher was installed. Sarah offered to put in the first load of dishes. Ahhh, the simple pleasures of life.
All clean!
Not only did Mark and Peter (our handy duo) install the new dishwasher, they also replaced 10 electrical outlets around the house, installed a motion sensor light out back, put in a new light on the front pole, rewired our instanta-hot dispenser in the kitchen and put up two new fluorescent light fixtures in the garage. Wow!! Such a great day.
Very thankful for all our house and backyard blessings this week!

A dishwasher is definitely a wonderful appliance you don’t realize you love until it’s gone!
Whoo hoo! So glad we have a new dishwasher!
So awesome to check that many things off a to-do list!!! Nicely done, Mr. Edgren! No hiding your light under a bushel over there. ????

Punctuation is so hard. Keep trying, Michelle.
