Just love my wood cook stove but sympathize with your wife as I love windows even more. Would live in a glass house if it was practical. Guess that relates directly to my love of the out of doors. In my younger days, if hubby sensed I was becoming depressed during the dreary winter months, he always planned a jaunt on snowshoes into the woods. Nothing like the quiet, pristine surroundings of a snow covered forest to make you realize just how great the world around us is. With a package of frank forts, some rolls and a thermos of coffee life was great. Can't do that now as we have to have a fire permit. More rules and regulations.

LOL - I remember them in that color (Yuk!)... I’ve even seen whole kitchens painted in that color...
Well, mine is red and white, and goes perfectly with my blue speckle hot water bath canner...(Will have to can something specially on the 4th of July!)
Or, I could take it camping - would go well with my Patriot Blue Jeep... ;^)
