Description
There's Nothing Like the Smell of Fresh Clean Laundry - But Those Machines are Not Elder-Blind Friendly, and I struggle with the putting money on the card and operating the machine, oh and lugging my detergent and small clothes back and forth on the bus is no easy task either. If you are going to the laundromat, could you take me with you? I can do my best to be on your schedule and while we are there you can teach me all about the restaurants and museums of New Britain and maybe we can take a walk at the park when the weather is nice. We could also read and sort my mail - We can make friends, get some exercise and explore this historical Connecticut city.
