I wash my dishes the old fashioned way by hand also. I don't have a dish washer and honestly I just don't like them. If I wanted one, I would get one but I don't have many dishes anyway and have just washed them myself all my life.
I think some modern conveniences are fabulous. I could never do without my microwave for instance. And a dish washer is probably a real time and work saver for anyone with a large family. But it is just not so here. I know I am an old fashioned fuddy duddy about some things. I mean I have a wash mashine but not a dryer. I just hang up the cloths on a line the very old fashioned way. I never ever wanted a dryer. Oh well.
