I'm still smiling.
Yesterday was an amazing day. It was truly life changing. I?m so happy, I?m still smiling. Yesterday was the day our new refrigerator arrived. I never thought I?d be so excited about getting an appliance.
Refrigerators are a big topic of conversation. Everyone wants to know where you got it and how long did it take to arrive. Almost every fridge in the city has been hauled out and carted away. Imagine if you can, a fridge that sat in a very hot house with no electricity for at least a month or in many cases much longer. They weren?t emptied before we left, since we all expected to be back in a few days. We were wrong and the result was a fridge that was beyond belief. The smell could knock you over and the maggots and flies a true nightmare. I had hopes of saving it, but one look and out it went.
For the last month we?ve been using a mini fridge lent to us by the Simons and a cooler that we kept out on the deck. The mini fridge was a lifesaver, but it was truly a mini. The cooler needed constant attention. It was like living with an ice-eating animal. Its great not to have to go to the store every day to buy one-day?s worth of groceries.
Today we went to Dorignac’s Supermarket and stocked up. There’s food in the freezer now and ice cold beer. That new fridge has truly changed my life.
