My Newest Favorite Old Thing

Now that is a strange name for a post isn't it????!!!!!!

So let me explain a little bit.  I do not have a dishwasher.  Well, I have a built-in dishwasher but it does not work and I truthfully use one so seldom, usually only when we would have a large family dinner, I haven't wanted to bother to repair it, or spend the money for a new one. 

I have never, even since childhood when I dried dishes each evening for my mother, mined drying dishes with a dish towel.  Even when I am a guest at someone else's home I am the first to either start washing the dishes or grabbing a dishtowel to dry them.  

BUT, in recent years I had gotten where I was disgusted with the current dish towel that always had polyester, or some other synthetic fabric in them so they did not absorb the water.  I had mentioned to Mickey recently that I wished I had some of the OLD TIME dishtowels of pure cotton like they use to make, and also like I used to embroidery on.  He said, well let's look and see if we can find some.   

Glory be!!!!  -- look what I found at good old Wally World - pure, white cotton dish towels.  As if this wasn't already delighting my heart turns out they were only 2 for $1.98.  Unheard of!!!!  I bought 2 packages, or 4, and upon using them the very first time was so delighted I went back and bought 3 more packages and put the 6 back for later, just in case they are not available when I'd need them.

Truly, sometimes the OLD FASHIONED things are better of best. 

In this case, they are for me.
