"They don't make them like they used to"- "No Guff", I replied!

 This is why I never got to blog yesterday-- This is a new frig/freezer--- The space behind it is empty because Himself and I dragged the old frig , which had died, out--We managed to get it out to the front hall--then the 2 men who brought this huge  new one in, took the old one to the dump-Before I ordered the new frig/freezer, the Lady at the store told me the new measurements -I had a yard stick ---and after using that and telling her I had a yard stick--she replied, "You are using a yard stick?"-And then she said, "I've never heard of that!"------Now this is Mom's yard stick--from her house, after she passed -I thought everyone had yard sticks-- I guess a yard stick is a thing of the past----

Anyway , Himself and I measured and remeasured--and it seemed like the new frig would fit  where the old one had been-- but------it didn't!-Lord Love A Duck!

As you can see, it is too tall--by a lot--(I suppose a yard stick  wasn't the best thing to measure with-)-So, long story short, we left this new huge frig in the middle of the kitchen, and plugged it in--I was "pooped" by now---thought some how I would fit the thing in--somehow-- sometime-- because now, it was suppertime ---  Himself suggested we get 2 takeout meals, at Son#1's restaurant--  I drove down there , exhausted, after filling the new frig up (in the middle of the kitchen, and after cleaning up the rest of the house after the movers had taken doors down, and moved furniture to get the huge frig in)-

Well, this is a small town, and there really is a God in Heaven, because, while waiting for the 2 takeout meals, the owner of the store we purchased this huge frig from, was in that restaurant, and approached me to tell me they would have a carpenter out to our home to cut the cupboard for this huge frig to go into---UNBELIEVABLE! --  a carpenter will be here Sunday---and meanwhile , the frig sits in the middle of the kitchen--and I am trying to get rid of dishes we don't use from the cupboards above. 

The microwave  was just replaced--and now the kitchen refrigerator-----We had the other refrigerator  since 1987---I was told the life of this new one is about 10 yrs-- then, the chap said, "They don't make them like they used to"----  In my mind I heard, "NO GUFF!"----

One never knows what each day will bring---One gets up in the morning , and hopes for the best I guess! Good thing we are strong--doncha think?
