Many have trav- eled to higher ground to escape sweating and swearing, under the intensity of the valley sun. We are those residents who try to spend at least a half of every week on higher grounds. Since we have experienced living in the mountains during each of the four seasons of the year we know that there are comfy respites in the area of Miner- al. The many surrounding pines and cedars provide filter from the over- bearing sun. Many of our activities are done in the outdoor comfortable weather clime. This summer we decided to install a small washer on our porch to replace our old Maytag wringer washer which still works and now resides in one of our daughter’s homes. The little round windowed, fairly current automatic washer was installed. This is great; we can wash our clothes here instead of dragging them down the hill to Red Bluff. Husband hooked it up, wife filled it up, put the soap in the pull out tray, closed the door with the round win- dow. Dial turned on, water turned on, the fun began. Hubby went to take a nap, wife settled in a chair on the porch with a good book. Time marched on. Wife decided it was time to hang up the items from the new washer. She looked into the window, the clothes to be washed were still dry and in the machine, there was the sound of running water, the washer was not turning. Since we have no clear TV reception, we decided to position our outdoor chairs in front of said "window washer" if for no other rea- son than to entertain our- selves while we waited for the clothes to wash. The "washing show" turned out to be lacking entertainment and causing frustration. Hubby began to investigate as to where the water was going. Yep, the drain hose was in a bad angle and every drop of water was watering the front yard forest down the hill in front of our porch. Not good news. Husband quickly stopped the water from escaping the tub without washing the load. After a few grumbles at our Carolyn Barber machine as being energy efficient. This seemingly not so simple task drew us to ask where our own energies had gone. The round window was def- initely not entertaining us any more so we turned on public radio and forgot watching the supposed better washer. We are mourning the loss of the fifty plus years old Maytag but are happy our D.K. has it. The refreshing mountain air drying the previous attempts to make washing a few items easy we were able to laugh it off. The next attempt brought a modicum of success which encouraged us to try washing a bedspread. We were sure the machine would take off as husband had repositioned the drain hose. Water began to fill the tub rather than immediately emptying it onto the ground. You guessed it the machine was compliant on its own time schedule which was stated on the front of the clothes on the line enticed our souls and brought us back to calmness. Entertainment in the mountains is not limited to TV or stubborn washing machines. Real entertain- ment leads to reading a lot of books, eating tasty food, spending each day doing some bird watching, walking or bike riding watching interesting critters. Meeting old and new friends and attending church held on Sundays at 9 a.m. is both entertaining and uplifting. The church gathering is led by Don D’Arcy in the Mineral Water Sys- tem Building on Scenic Avenue at 9 am. The service is nondenomina- tional and open to all.
