What are some of the simple home pleasures you would enjoy if

[malaise]

you could.
I would have newly washed sheets and pillow cases every day of the week.
The older I get the more I love freshly washed sheets.

1. A tennis court in my back yard--oh wait. That may not qualify :-)

[malaise]

2. Why not?

Go for it😀

[Luciferous]

3. I love fresh sheets too. I would

say home cooked meals that I don't have to make.

[malaise]

4. LOL

I know right😀

[CrispyQ]

5. I would like basic house cleaning once a week.

Dust, vacuum, & clean the bathrooms, with once a quarter additions like dust the ceiling fan & pull out the furniture for vacuuming.

[malaise]

6. Yeeees

For the furniture moving

[sorcrow]

7. Self-cleaning dishes!

[malaise]

8. I must be the only person I know who enjoys washing dishes

I won’t even add a dishwasher. 😀

17. That's why we have dogs 😂 n/t

9. My simple home pleasures are the following:

1. Unscented flameless candles. I can't describe the feeling of peace that the ambiance of these candles bring me.


2. Playing solitaire with a physical deck of cards in my hand. I like shuffling the cards as well. I can get my "fix" playing solitaire on my phone or PC but it just isn't the same.


3. Opening a physical book and reading. If I take a book out in public, I can't concentrate and there's too many distractions.


4. Working plumbing.


5. Working appliances such as the stove, the refrigerator, the washer and dryer and the dishwasher. A few points of interest about an appliance dishwasher that I appreciate. The dishwasher reaches temps of 160F to sanitize the actual dishes, a human hand can't tolerate 160F. Most newer dishwashers use less gallons of water compared to hand washing. My hands dry out quickly especially in the winter. I've already had 2 separate skin cracks this winter on my right thumb. I have to keep saturating my hands, nails, fingers and thumbs in baby oil on the daily.

10. Lovely - simple pleasures - yes I love real cards😀

One of my sisters never washes dishes without gloves. She’s 70 plenty and still has beautiful hands. She does have a dishwasher.

13. I knew we had some similar interest

I'm falling apart over here and I'm not even 50 yet, malaise.

[malaise]

14. This too will pass

People are fighting back.

Growing up all the kids living close by played cards and lots of board games together. We still talk about those great times. We ran all over the streets and played at all sorts of sports as well.
Those were the good times.

[Niagara]

15. Yes, it will pass

Thank you for being you, malaise.


I'm glad that you here on DU.

[malaise]

16. Awwwwww

Glad you’re here too

[Intractable]

11. Netflix

[malaise]

12. Years ago my brother gave me access

But Netflix eventually cancelled family and friend. Great channel

18. A fridge stocked with food you like

and know how to prepare (doesn't have to be fancy) and a comfy bed to sleep in. If you have that, you're luckier than many in this world.

[malaise]

20. So true

I was reminding a niece recently that none of us was ever hungry except by choice and we always had a cozy bed.

[senseandsensibility]

21. I forgot to mention good music!

That's (almost) as important as food!

[malaise]

22. Yes

😀

[LuckyCharms]

19. Good health, good workouts, full tank of gas perpetually, full plate of pasta, and a full and grateful heart.

I have most of those right now.
