I have the Best Friends EVER

Sometimes I forget important things.  Like to wash my husband's work clothes. He gets really annoyed when it's 10:00 at night, and he doesn't have any clean uniforms for the next day.  I'll admit, it's my job to do wash them.  For whatever reason, though, I always seem to forget to check that he has clean ones.  The biggest problem with this, though, is that instead of asking me or gently reminding me to wash them, he huffs and puffs his way through doing his own laundry.  Oh well.  One day he'll realize it's a lot easier and less time consuming to open his mouth and ask me.  But as usual, I digress.


Last night was one of those nights.  Mike realized he didn't have any work clothes.  I had already gone to sleep.  He had to be at work at 6:00 this morning.  Not a good scenario.  It went from bad to worse when he went to put his clothes in the dryer and realized it was D-E-A-D, dead.  Kaput.  Gone.  Finished.  Not working.


A few months ago, we thought it had stopped working.  Really it had just come off its track (or something like that), but Mike was able to easily fix it.  Yay for having a handy husband!!!  This time, not fixable.  


So I posted something on Facebook about it.  Last time I had posted something about it, several friends offered to loan me ones they happened to have in their garages.  I was hoping the same friends would still have them in their garages. Well, Bryant's t-ball coach and our good friend, Kareem, came to the rescue in a BIG way.  He not only had one in his garage, but he wanted to outright GIVE it to us, along with the washer if we wanted  it.  He called it "friendship of charge."  I mean, WOW.  Not only did he just outright GIVE us a FREE dryer, he loaded it up in his truck, brought it over, and helped Mike get it set up and the old one to the curb.  (The old one was gone less than 10 minutes after Kareem left! - Gotta love Arlington!)


Thank God for answered prayers and amazing friends.


I'd love to hear about your blessings, too.  :-)
