Do you know i have not had an machine dishwasher in any of my homes for over 25/30 year now... i actually find it kind of soulful to hand wash my dishes. i Always found dishwashers kind of yucky (unless you are a restaurant) and you wash them first if you want them clean? what's that all about.  Plus, i hate to admit it but i think my mom taught me to love dishes...i mean the actual plate by dansk or villeroy & bach & mugs with memories etc... and freddy ( our parrot) enjoys talking with me in the morning while coffee is brewing and i finish up the last few from the night before and wake up. #MySoulRepair by #martamichaud
