I would think that you have a just cause to whine a little and you are welcome here, in what ever condition you arrive.
The last time I dealt with a dead refrig, I froze bottles of ice in the freezer, as in milk jugs, soda plastic bottles, etc.
and then used the top part to keep the things that I had to have cold and the frozen bottles, as the cooler.
Yes, ice chests are always a pain, and with kids a disaster.
Beware that toddlers will fall into an ice chest, we had it happen here in the valley, about 4 years ago.
He managed to fall in on his head, the ice had melted and it had water in it and he drowned.
Looking back, I am amazed that any kid survived, for I would never have thought of it as a drowning source.
Did you have a good garden this year?
I do hope the barn refrig will work for you, LOL, once I read something about standing the refrig on its top to get the freon to start moving in the coils again.
Don’t stay away so long, we miss you here.
Thanks Granny!!!!!
I’m around and I read. I just don’t post as often as I used to do.
I was talking to a frind in Delaware yesterday and told her about the situation. She loves to talk about her “gypsy” blood...........her mother was actually born in Transylvania. Anyway, she said to me yesterday morning (about 11a.m. eastern) that my refrigerator problem would be solved within 48 hours.
I’m in the process of writing her an email because she was right. We were at a church function this evening and my husband had been putting the word out and wouldn’t you know, the local Kiwanis has a refrigerator that needs a new home. All we need to do is pick it up.
In answer to your question about my garden this year, it basically was a bust. Too little rain when it was needed and too much when it wasn’t. My volunteer tomato and squash plants are still going great guns, but it takes a heck of a lot of grape tomatoes to make even a quart of sauce. They make excellent green tomato pickles, though and I will be making more of those tomorrow!!!!
