We got home from our trip after midnight Thursday night, and what did we find? Blood pooling at the bottom of our fridge. A power outage had shorted the compressor in our (3 yr old) fridge while we were gone. Everything was very bad and VERY VERY smelly! I'm a nurse, and have seen a lot of gross stuff in my time, but it made me gag.
Anyway, by Friday afternoon, we had a new fridge! I found one locally that was only 1 1/2 yrs old, a much nicer fridge (they had just moved here & needed to get rid of it), and they threw in a nice (extra large) washer & dryer in all for $600.
Plus, as a couple extra gifts from heaven, my kids played quietly all day so I could make all of the necessary phone calls and arrangements. The weather was cool enough that we could leave windows open to air out the house (phew!). Then, just as we were walking out the door to go out to eat, a neighbor called us to come eat dinner at her house. I think that there was more than just a silver lining... maybe even some silver plating.
