Mennonite Gray

It is time to do laundry and I get the code right this time. Now the code for the laundry door lock is the same one as for the men's washroom and shower area. I mean really - really? I don't see any men doing laundry today - or how about most days??. I think it is a test on my memory. We have enough quarters for 1 load only, and we have our black shorts and jeans, and of course my lovely brand new white Jockey underwear and a couple of pristine white tops. Challenge - what to do?? I decide to brave it and throw it all in - it goes against everything I ever learned from my mother about laundry, but hey, rules are made to be adapted when you are camping. Right? Apparently not. I leave the laundry to do its thing and we pack up the van. I go back and pull my lovelies out of the washing machine. My cute Jockey whities are now Mennonite Gray. I love Benjamin Moore Mennonite Gray - we painted our cottage walls this neutral, appealing colour. But it is not the colour I had in mind for my lingerie. It is a done deal now - at least I have clean underwear!! The drier is another story. I put quarters in; the dryer swallows them up and then before I get enough of them in it chokes and won't take any more. I move to the next machine - same deal. Finally at the third dryer I get the last of my quarters in and get the load going. I feel like I have been at the casino and - lost! I thought dryers only ate socks, but apparently dryers also eat quarters. Mennonite Gray is no longer my favourite colour.
