Laundry Mat

My Mid~Week~Blues this week is our local "Laundry Mat".
For other Mid~Week~Blues click over here.

We have a really nice Laundry Mat in our town.
I love to go early when there aren't very many people there.

It is always clean and the people that
work there are very helpful and nice.

You can even play games while you wait

or watch one of the 5 flat screen TVs.



I introduced the "Laundry Mat" to my two nieces


this summer at different times.

This child had never been to a Laundry Mat

and I so think it is one of those necessary life skills.

As you can tell by her chicken in hand

we were there around lunch time.


Funny how those nieces have to be fed too.



This child was trying to catch up on her summer

reading list before school started the next week!

She had been to a Laundry before while on vacation.


A sucker was enough to keep her pacified.



The good thing about the whole experience

is that you can do 6 loads of wash in 22 minutes!


Then dry and fold all 6 loads in about another hour.

I LOVE it!

( My washer went out this summer and we are trying to remodel and I didn't want to get a new one until all that was finished and ready for a new washer)

I don't think I've been to a laundry mat in many years, but that's a nice one!

I haven't been to one in ages. If they all look like that, they have definitely improved!

Due they color coordinate the blues in the machines and the chairs??!! I like the angle of the first shot a lot.

I'm glad you had a little explanation at the end because I was wondering why you had to go to the laundry mat. It does look like a super clean and nice one!
I have not been to a laundry mat for years!

That is a whooooole lot nicer then most laundry mats I have seen.

The places I have been too make me feel like I need to pull my bra stap out and hang it over my shoulder, and chew gum obnoxiously, have a few screaming poopy diaper kids running around, and pull out a harlequin book.

that place was much nicer.

You are an optimistic laundry mat queen! My lament is, "It's so inconvenient to load my laundry and lug it to the laundry mat!" But here it is 6:30 p.m. and I'm still doing laundry! (Of course I worked 8 hours but that's beside the point)
P.S. The laundry mat really is a nice one!
