REFRIGERATOR

According to Merriam-Webster, Refrigerator, re-frig-er-a-tor, noun, a room or appliance for keeping food or other items cool.

If you have moved or have had a new refrigerator in the past two years this post is not for you. You may find it funny. I know that I have little gremlins that live in mine. I try to clean out my ice box before I go to the grocery store. With Fred living his life as a Chef and going to the grocery store more often than I. The refrigerator does not get clean out as often as it should.

I am taking a poll. What is the oldest bottled or boxed item you have ever found in your refrigerator? Be truthful, we are all human. I do try to take out the shelves about every six months and wash them. At that time I go through all the bottles and check dates. Sounds simple right, wrong. Today, I tackled that day long job. I could not believe the stuff I find in my refrigerator. I had sauces that went back to 2004. I can not even think how I would have over looked those. I do think that things get bought that are out of date. Also please let me say, that I am the only one that ever wipes something up in the refrigerator. I think my family just closes the door and forgets about it. "Out of sight, out of mind."

My poor side by side, refrigerator, is 20 years old. It is a big GE and just keeps on truckin'. I want it to last because we want to remodel out kitchen. Every time I hear it make a different noise, I pray. Please let it last a little longer. It has lived a long and useful life. My old refrigerator has fed my family for along time. It has hosted many birthdays, holidays, spend the night parties, family dinners, graduation and going away parties. It has seen happy day and sad days. If only your refrigerator could talk. It could write our life.

Take a look in your refrigator. See what lerks inside. You may have germlins living in you refrigator too.

Fast Riding, Bathing Beauty






Now tell me, was this not one hot Mama? I know beauty just can not be denied. This jet ski tour was so much fun. BUT! I bounced around on that thing like crazy. The day was great, the water was great, everything but the waves. The water in Key West is also very salty. After awhile of the spray from bouncing, and the sun screen on my face and the salt, I was unable to see. My eyes were burning badly. I was able to wipe the water out and resume my journey. We really were shown some great things. Have you every thought about the farest southern point in the United States? I haven't until I was there and could see it.

I included the picture of the coozie because after that trip I was thankful for any breath. Even Hog Breath. And a nice cold one just hit the spot.
