Smudge

Barb found our washing machine was leaking.  I thought we should get it fixed but Barb thought it was too old and so she bought a replacement.  She talked to a salesman over the phone and he promised it would be delivered in 5 to 10 days.  Barb was getting upset because our laundry was piling up.  They delivery men finally called and said they would be delivering the washer and dryer between 8 and 12 the next day.  We had to get both a washer and dryer even though only the washer was broken because they were stacked to fit into our little cupboard in the kitchen.  We found out that we had to disconnect the washer and dryer and they said we had to take them apart.  We were able to disconnect them but we couldn’t get them apart.  The next day Barb was playing pickleball in the afternoon and was happy they were going to deliver in the morning.  She got up early and waited and finally they hadn’t come by 11:30.  So Barb started getting ready to leave for pickleball.  She had parked our cars in the neighbour’s driveway to allow room for the delivery truck and she was happy with herself because the neighbour’s had gone away for the winter and they often use other people’s driveways when our neighbours are away.  Anyway she was just about to leave when the delivery men arrived.  We found out that we weren’t supposed to take the washer and dryer apart.  Barb left and I supervised the men as they installed the washer and the dryer.  They were two big strong guys but seemed very happy and they did a good job.  Barb was worried that they would scratch the floor but they didn’t.  Then I moved the kitchen table back in place. Barb saw a scratch on the floor and I thought maybe I had done it when I moved the table back.  But Barb was able to wipe it off.  It was only a smudge.
