The curse continues

So after my van was repaired and Dad's car had a new battery, I hoped we were in the clear. Well, apparently the curse moved from vehicles to appliances. This week both the lawnmower AND the dryer broke. The lawnmower...we can live without for a bit. The dryer...boy, that's a vital appliance! I went out and bought a clothes line so I could do a little laundry while I'm waiting for the dryer to be fixed, and wouldn't you know it, the clothes line broke too! UGH! Laundromat, here I come!
