Our Newest Addition....

Isn't he a beaut?......hand prints and all?

After over a month without a dishwasher (an electronic machine that is.....we have plenty of  'dishwashers' around here).....We brought this jim-dandy, stainless steel, Kenmore Elite, extra quiet high powered scrubbing piece of hardware home....and he fit perfectly in the little space we had prepared for him.
He really is VERY, VERY QUIET......so quiet, in fact, it is hard to tell if he is really working or not.
Our dishes have come out sparkling clean so I think he is earning his keep.
It's official then.  He is a permanent part of this family.

It's a match made in heaven!
