Well, this is not how I wanted to end 2023!  I went to start another load of laundry on Sunday and found that the dryer wasn't heating.  At that point I had a load of towels and a load of regular laundry washed.  Luckily, I have a built in clothes line in the back yard - the pool fence.  (And the neighbors can't see the tacky way I dried my laundry!)  My hearth also has pull-put arms to dry coats on and I used them to dry the towels.  We had intermittent rain during the day, so they were not going to dry outside!  Even the laundry didn't really dry.  I brought everything is and put it in front of the fire.  It was warmer in the house than I liked, but the laundry got dry.  Now to finish the other loads...
