I have to admit..I'm kind of a gadget queen. There I said it! Now, don't be confused with a infomercial queen...that's not me!
Some of my gadgets have worked good...some...not so good.
I first saw these, when a lady I clean for had them. My first thought...why does she have those?? I never really asked her about them...I just knew she had them.
So about 3 weeks ago I bought some for my very own.....
They are Dryer Balls. You get two per package and I bought them at Menards for $3.50ish.
I wasn't sure at first if I just
wanted them to work out. But, I really think they do! I know they make great claims to fluffier towels, no fabric softener, no ironing....blah blah blah....saving on dryer time.... I'm not sure if any of those things are true....so why do I think they work?
It seems to me that the clothes are less wrinkled. I think the balls go around with the clothes and fluff them so they are wrinkled less....I don't know? I didn't think they made a lot of noise in the dryer ....but you could hear them jumping around.
I bought them with out knowing all those big claims mentioned above. I didn't realize they had to many claims till I googled them. So maybe, I had lower expectations than all the rest of the cyber world....I don't know.
It is quite possible they help the clothes dryer faster but I have not timed a regular load vs. a dryer ball load. And besides, how could you really know unless they were the exact same load of clothes. Really, I don't have that much time on my hands!!
So, if you have $4 to invest in Dryer Balls...Do It! Go...get them..Now...Do it!
Tyler and Steve were replaceing the brake pads on the van, which turned into a Rotor job also. Ordinarily, that wouldn't have been a big deal but they were doing this on prom day at 1pm.
The first placed we headed was Trestle Park...which is near her house. It's a very small park but very cute and a great setting for pictures.
We had a hard time getting Tyler to keep his eyes open..he apparently has G-ma Bonnie's 'close your eyes when someone is taking a picture' syndrome! The other issue...two of us were taking pictures so they didn't know who to look at. But we did get a few keepers...
One of my favorites of Alisha....Tyler had his eyes closed so I cropped him out...but I couldn't delete this magical picture of Alisha! Isn't she a beauty!
These were taken at the Rockford Dam. It was a sunny day to take pictures...they were so willing to let us position them around! Dude, get out of the river!
Just a fun one!!
The last one before they headed out to 'Almost Paradise'
A night they will never forget!
