Here it is my fine friends.

The long awaited tale of our fridge that died.

It had been acting up for months. We’d had the repair man in twice. But it decided to officially konk-out on Memorial day – which meant there wasn’t a lot we could do except throw away a bunch of food and keep our fingers crossed that we could replace it, and fast. You see most of the stores were closed and their websites all seemed to say that ordering a new fridge would take three weeks to deliver.

THREE WEEKS?!

Here I am with our old fridge. When we cleaned it out it was so stinky that I decided to wear a tea- towel on my face. Jan thought I looked like a terrorist and that I was holding those brussels spouts hostage.

On Tuesday I ran to a local appliance store called Karls. Found a model that would work, ordered it and by Wednesday we had a new fridge up and running.

And we love it!

She is so pretty that I just couldn’t put the photos and magnets on her and make her look all common and cluttered.

In fact, both Jan and I were loathed to put any food into it – it was just so crisp and spanking clean!!

Welcome to our family, happy, new, clean, white fridge – that works!

Fear not, little fridge – I won’t hold any of your food hostage.
