I remember the roll out ones you hooked up to the faucet.

I had one of those.

My grandparents had one of those at their vacation home. It's funny when I think of it because they didn't have a dishwasher at home. Maybe Grandma thought if she was on vacation she didn't need to do the dishes??? For just Grandpa and Grandma I don't think they used it much, but they used it when family was visiting them. Loved going "Up North" to visit them in the summers. They stayed up there most of the summer. (Is going "Up North" mostly a Michigan thing?)

I don't know. Never did when I lived in MI.

What I do remember was that in the late 60's playing football with a group of us young of the child bearing years and having to wear a sweater in July.....

One of the worst first world problems is incorrect dishwasher loading. I almost passed out one day. I just got home from work and opened the dishwasher to unload and there was bowls on the top shelf thing! Matter of fact it may have been two or three I don't really remember cause after I saw the first one my memory kinda fades away. Stuff went black and the next thing I remember was sitting on the sofa petting the cat. After some stout conversations I learned my sister came over and she wanted to "help" my wife and she wasn't paying enough attention in order to stop her. Me and my sister didn't talk for a couple months after. I mean why woukd I want to talk to her after something like that.

I lived in Michigan for most of my childhood; we never went up “up north” except to visit my grandparents who lived in the UP.

I wish we had taken a trip to the UP when we had the chance. I remember the beauty of the northern part of the LP.

I’m in the desert and we now only get a bit more than 7” of rain a year so are getting creative with water saving techniques. If I must rinse I give it a light scrub with a wet sponge instead.

Ya ..I don't wash my mom's way anymore either. Just can't here. But I've found lots of tricks that I think keep my dishes as clean and uses an an acceptable amount of water.

Anything is possible in Michigan.... Had to wear a jacket to my high school graduation open house at the end of June. It was cold that day!

Seems like every Friday & Saturday the state highways are extremely busy going north and the opposite happens every Sunday. It's even worse near a holiday. It can be difficult sometimes to get a tractor and piece of equipment across the highway sometimes! My nieces and nephews sit out on their front porch counting RVs headed north.
