hmmm an iron... I'm sure I have one of them around here somewhere....surely..

I just hang up shirts and dresses (DS's included) as they come out of the washing machine, so they dry straight. maybe if you are so behind you could just hang up this lot and deal with it on as needed basis. Not every day calls for a ironed shirt.

So sorry to hear about your SIL, I hope her passage through this world is peaceful one
