Fridge Fizzled Out . . .

Although Saturday was a good day, Sunday was not.

First I woke up to a warm refrigerator.  I thought the kids had left a door open all night (bad seals on it, and if one door is shut, the other pops open), but by 4pm we realized the fridge was fizzling out.  Gone.  Pa-toot.  The blasted thing stopped working. 


Not a good day for any of us.  We were invited to a grand re-opening of a nearby church, but did not go to the service.  we could not leave the home empty on account of the noisy/reckless mud bog business that was at it again.  Again, running without the required permit. 

And then there was the situation with the fridge.

In a rush we took all the important meat out of the freezer and took it to extended family temporarily.  We have a smaller fridge where we keep the goat's milk, where I drain the ricotta, etc.  We put what we could in that fridge and sadly, the rest went into the trash.

First the mower, now this?

When my blood pressure returns to normal, and my headache subsides, I'll try to post a more joyous post.

Ooof! You're right; your Sunday was not a good day. Hope the refridge was an old one . . . or if not, there's a guarantee on it. The darn things are expensive to replace.
Mama Pea,
It was an old one. We were also hit by lightning last year, which may have shortened it's life. We lost our 5 year old ($200.00) microwave as well (and not yet replaced). It's definitely put us in a "pickle" so to speak.

Oh, Kristina! That is such a pain!! And it's not cheap to buy a good fridge these days - AND they don't last an iota of the time the old ones did. Hope the electronic jinx is now over! And what's with these yahoos in the mud bog?
Susan, we have not had our township meeting, in which this guy is to apply for a permit to open such a business. Last night a Deputy Sheriff talked to him, and he told the Sheriff he had permits and insurance. He can't get the permit without landowners and homeowners who live adjacent, attending such a meeting. So, now the prosecutor is involved. I was told he'd get charged $500/day for every day he ran it without getting a permit. Time will tell.

Sorry you are having such troubles. My frig does the same as it is very old so I hope this isn't a sign that mine is getting ready....although I really couldn't blame it...it is REALLY old. I have a perfectly good microwave that I paid $25.00 for at Walmart and it's lasted for 10 years so far. $200.00 for a microwave? Was it made with gold parts? I didn't even know they sold microwaves that expensive.
I need a new stove top and new glasses.....LOL! You're not alone!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
