I need a dishwasher! One that is at least 6' tall, and muscular with a cheery disposition and (aa my late Nana used to say), has a nice view from the behind. :-) Since I didn't see one in the classifides this morning, I guess it is up to me.
LOL Funny! I have the same problem! I have the excuse of being 81 though!
Can you sell a quilt and buy a mechanical dishwasher? I have a little robot vacuum cleaner that runs around keeping the floors clean.. It has the artificial intelligence of a cricket...and is called a roomba, and it is easy to pick threads out of its roller / brushes.
Can you trade table toppers or baby quilts for help cleaning, from some of our younger children occupied quilters? Call it a quilter's retreat, they go home with a finished project, anf your house is more orderly.
They just might enjoy a half day out - away from the clamor?
I remember that I would have. There is some kind of magic about helping in somebody elses house.J

That's a great idea! For some reason is doesn't seem as bad cleaning someone elses house as my own. I did get my dishes finished, but it took most of the day since they needed to air dry between washings. I posted a link in the non-quilting section entitled "How to wash dishes in 5 easy steps......"
