The tops of the pages in the magazine were all stuck together so we couldn't ascertain the date from them either.Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09217542873346619236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787750143375798683.post-71775891489387809942012-11-19T21:14:29.433-05:002012-11-19T21:14:29.433-05:00Which issue was this from?

My mom hated that too but never said a word. She told me there had to be something in the house that he picked out and that was it.

(Yes, they actually kept you in for a week back then.) My father decided to surprise her and painted the laundry room avocado green, put up an avocado green cabinet for supplies and tiled the floor in TWO shades of, you guess it, avocado green asbestos tile. Then the G.E. avocado green washer and dryer arrived. He even bought avocado green curtains for the window with GIANT "mod" flowers that were also in shades of avocado green. He was so proud of that room and tied a big red bow on the door.<br /><br />When my mother got home, we all yelled surprise and the expression on my mom's face was one I will always remember. There were hugs and kisses, dinner at the diner. That was the only "big money extravagance" for the year.<br /><br />Years later my mother confessed that she HATED AVOCADO GREEN but would never ever tell my father.<br /><br />Just for the record. That GE washer and dryer lasted well into the mid-1980's with only one repair call. In the last 12 years or so, I have had to replace my washing machine twice.jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320738015616980326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-787750143375798683.post-13725134774313293942012-09-13T08:10:26.970-04:002012-09-13T08:10:26.970-04:00lololololol times tenlololololol times tenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
