T Stands for Ice

    Hi everyone. Happy new week to you, and if you're stopping by from Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog, here's my T day post.

    Sorry if you don't like emojis, but this post needed something as it seemed to have too much writing so I decided to have some fun and add them. Grin.

    A couple of years ago the freezer part of our kitchen refrigerator stopped working. 😞 It still was cold, but didn't get cold enough to freeze. My husband tried to fix it, (and he's usually great at fixing appliances- he's fixed my clothes dryer 3 times already)), but he couldn't fix this problem. 😕 We could have called in a repair person, but we figured the price that would cost could be a good chunk of money towards a new refrigerator. And our frig at that point was 13 years old.

     Let me also explain that we have a second refrigerator in our basement that has a working freezer. When our basement deep freezer died back in 2020 during the pandemic, we decided to replace it with a second refrigerator. Since we had this freezer/refrigerator, we didn't need to rush for a kitchen refrigerator with a freezer. 

     You might ask why we didn't just move the basement refrigerator upstairs. Well, although we bought that refrigerator new, it's pretty ugly plus it had/has some scars and bumps on it. It works great in the basement,  and so we've been using that freezer exclusively for the last couple of years.

    However, there were 2 things that were tough without a freezer in the kitchen. One was having ice 🧊and the other was ice cream 🍦. Not that it was difficult to walk down into the basement to get or bring the ice cream back to the freezer, but if you put  a scoop or 2 into a bowl. by the time you walked down, put the ice cream in the freezer and then back up your ice cream  would  have started to melt. (Oh such first world problems 😉)

   Since it's summer again, since last summer we didn't have an upstairs freezer,  and since it's the time you really want ice and ice cream, it was time to buy a new frig. 

   We found a new frig at one of those big box hardware stores during their Memorial Day sale, so bye-bye to our old frig which is in the photo below. I was sad to see it go as I actually really liked it. 

    This past week we had the new frig delivered, which my daughter said doesn't look all that different from the old one. 😏 And it really doesn't on the outside.

    The blue on the handles is just tape, and there was so much tape we had to remove.  This  next photo  shows the tape and all the protective covering inside the frig part that took well over an hour to remove.

    I'm actually glad that I took this photo because by the time we took everything out to remove the tape and the sticky lining, we couldn't exactly remember how everything went back in.

    But we have ice again!!!!!!!😁❤👍 And also some ice cream in the kitchen freezer. 😀

    Here's my drink for T this week, or at least the ICE for whatever cold drink you'd like to put in that glass. My daughter informed me it has a name. It's called pebble ice because it's not as large as normal ice cubes. Your kids teach you the darnedest things. Ha ha.

Wishing everyone a happy T day and week ahead.
