The Fridge

Upon our return from our camping trip (check out my previous post), we were greeted by a nasty odor and a bunch of water all over our kitchen floor... our fridge had decided to die on us during our time away.

Maybe it was lonely.
Maybe it felt neglected, not being opened a trillion times a day.
Maybe it just figured that 6 years was long enough to be a fridge.

Whatever the reason, the thing must have literally ceased to cool or keep things cold the moment we closed the garage door on our way out of town to go camping. Everything inside was a total loss.

There is nothing like losing your fridge... almost makes you feel, oh how did the department store salesman put it - like being naked. OK... But it does make you feel kind of stranded for some reason.

The only thing worse than losing your fridge is finding it coming home from vacation that got rained out.

Actually, the worst part about it was the smell... don't know what to say about that or even how to describe it. Wow!

So, a journey with yet another appliance ends and another begins (and so does the payments :)

Is your refrigerator running? :))
Peace.

Are you kidding, have you seen my kids eat?

We have two... and a chest freezer... they're all full... okay maybe they're not for the kids, maybe they're for me :)

I feel for you. Mine went out this year at the worst possible time. I think for us the most upsetting thing was the loss of food.

i know the feeling, my mom's was dying a slow painful death, to the point where the freezer acted like a fridge and the fridge was a cabinet. my family pooled together to get her a new one, and it was delivered on Christmas Day!
