To Make Life More Enjoyable...

...we bought a new refrigerator.  We have known which brand, style, and color for a long time.  We've been saving our money and felt now was a good time to finally get the refrigerator we've been longing for...well, mostly I've been longing for.  The french door with pull-out freezer drawer including water and ice dispenser.  The water dispenser was what I was most looking forward to.

Charlie and I went down to our local Sears and confirmed the one we wanted and then a few days later I went back to purchase it.  I found our sales woman and she was so happy to see me ready to order.  While she was in the back checking inventory I spied a black Kenmore Elite, exact size, color, model we were looking for.  It had a tag on it: Closeout Used.  The price was knocked down $400.  I examined it inside and out looking for signs of "used".  I couldn't see anything.  Finally Mary came back and said the box in the warehouse was empty, I said it's probably this one.  She looked at it and sure enough it was the same one.  She said they just put "used" on the tag so they could mark the price down but that indeed it was not used.

So, I was happy, she was happy, and I got my fridge delivered a few days later and here it sits in our lovely kitchen.  The old one was hauled downstairs to the kitchenette where Charlie quickly filled it up with Gatorade and Shasta..."you know, for watching the games".  The kids were so excited for the new fridge and love being able to get their own drinks, Kenzie especially loves the ice.  Merry Christmas to me!

yes, we drink a lot of milk...but that's not the point here, the LIGHTS are the
coolest, it's like I'm on the Las Vegas strip every time I open the fridge, and
they make our leftovers look so tasty!
