Rozan’s Memorable Laundry Experience:

“Ahhh laundry. My life would not be complete without having to wash, dry, and sort laundry. I think after 20 years of marriage I have it down to a science. Of course, in the beginning, as a young, “green” wife, I’ll admit I made a few mistakes. But Mama was a good teacher.. whites with whites, darks with darks, lights and colors to be washed with whatever they matched closest to. To this day, I can always tell when someone does the “all-inclusive” laundry method, as their t-shirts and socks are that very unappealing shade of dingy grey. But I digress. I think the only major mishap I had was not THOROUGHLY checking pockets (and for the record, why is that MY job?? Should the wearer of said pockets not share in THAT responsibility??) and an ink pen went through with a load of whites/lights. My mother-in-law, the Queen of every gadget and product known to man, delivered some Didi 7, which didn’t do anything except almost put me 6 feet under from the nasty fumes!

Today, I can do laundry in my sleep. Being the mom of two teenage girls, I know exactly which things should only be washed for a few minutes, or hand-washed ( again, why is that MY job??) , air-dried, dried flat, dried for a few minutes on low before hanging from the shower rod to finish drying.. You get the picture. I was sick last weekend, and from my sick bed, told my husband to start the laundry. I then managed a weak chuckle as I envisioned him washing his jeans with delicate items of the girls. I told him,” Never mind, it’s just easier if I do it. ” But he insisted and I had to tell the litte devil Control Freak on my shoulder that it would be OK. For the most part, he did fine. But when I asked if our daughter’s PE clothes got washed, he looked at me puzzled and said, ” I don’t know what they look like.” Um, the grey t-shirt that says RHS P.E. is usually your first clue, along with the customary black mesh shorts. I got up to check it out and sure enough, the t-shirt was laying in the unwashed pile, in plain view, to which he exclaimed “where was that that I didn’t see it?” Being the smart woman that I am, I didn’t answer. But I did notice he had a pile ready to go for the next load… RED pajama pants, with my daughter’s pale green sweatshirt, and assorted other light colored items.

I could go on and on about the comments that were made by both of us, but I’ll just leave it up to your imagination.

Oh, did I mention that I have NEVER had a new washer/dryer. The used sets have done the job ok… my current set was about 5 years old when we acquired it and we have had it for about 10 years? The clothes come out twisted into horrific shapes and it currently takes about 2 days for the the dryer to dry a load! I would be MOST GRATEFUL to Peck for a beautiful new set that is also good for the environment! Thanks for putting on a great contest!! And good luck to EVERYONE!!!” ~Rozan

Nelli’s Memorable Laundry Experience:

“When we moved from Arizona to California for my husband’s schooling, our son was two years old. While my husband was completing his college degree, I worked as a nurse to support our family. My house-husband and son took on the chore of doing the laundry every week and they became quiet proficient at it. On one of my days off, I decide to do the laundry under the watchful eye of our then five year old son. He quietly watched as I separated clothes into stacks of like colors and fabrics. By the time, I was ready to start the first load, he could no longer contain himself and shouted, “That’s not the way Dad does it! We should wait until he comes home to do the laundry!” To this young child who had been his Papa’s helper, grew up believing that doing the laundry was a man’s job! Yay!

That young man is now 23 years old and we are still doing laundry in the same Sears Kenmore Washer/Dryer combo! But it would be wonderful to have a brand new duo now that we are empty-nesters plus it would be a great Father’s Day gift for my husand who still does our laundry! Yay again!” ~ Nelli Webster
