Dishes - How do you wash yours?

When the boys were little we had a dishwasher for a while.  But it was a used one, very used, and didn't last long.  Money was tight, so we didn't replace it.  Once the boys were old enough to help - they would have to dry the dishes while I washed.  This was called "Mother/Son Bonding Time". 

When Logan was about 14 he asked if we could get a dishwasher.  I asked what would happen to our Mother/Son bonding?  He thought it would just be faster :)  Funny boy!  Eventually the boys wanted to do the dishes alone, so they could listen to their MP3 player instead of talking to old mom.  Well!

A few years ago Grandma knit me some dish clothes and I love them!  There is nothing like a hand knit/crocheted dish cloth.  In September I hosted a give away for Hillbilly Jill who crochets wonderful dish clothes!! She has a club membership that can be purchased. There is a 6 Month Membership for $15 or a 12 Month Membership for $30 - each with FREE Shipping anywhere.

I bought the 6 month membership, needed some new dish clothes (hinted that I liked the orange one). Got my first one 2 weeks ago, and have used it many times and washed it many times since. This is an amazing dishcloth!! Can't wait to get the next 5 :)

How do you do your dishes?

http://christiecottage.blogspot.com/2010/10/win-it-wednesday-new-giveaway_3945.html

Here are the instructions:

You can tweet one or all of mine.  Also PLEASE tweet everyone's items if you can.  Or just one from each commenter would be fine too.  We are trying to promote everyone :)

List 1-3 items from any of your online shops that you would like me to tweet for you, along with your twitter account so everyone can follow. ( No "mature" items, please). Be sure the item is twitter ready (do not just post the links to the item - please add a brief description as above) 

I will tweet for you.

By reaching out through blogger and blog follower's twitter accounts, we will reach a new audience of viewers and hopefully land some sales. After all, we all have our online shops to make money:)

Hope everyone has fun promoting and maybe we'll get some sales!!

ARG!!!!

We lost our internet connection yesterday afternoon!  Brad wasn't to upset - but I started going through withdrawal at about 7pm when I should have been getting today's post ready and posting a give away on my other blog.

The internet was finally back when I got home after my bus run.  Good Grief!  Am I addicted or what?
