The newly recharged fridge stopped working Sat. A.M. Called the repair man, he said it was most likely a hole in a line and would be hard to find, as these are all buried inside the casing. Off to shop all afternoon. Biggest problem is finding one to fit in the space, and most of that size is white, not what I wanted. Finally found a Maytag in black with all the features I wanted. It was on the floor, so no waiting for an special order and could be delivered today (Sun.). Not. Got a call early today to say the lift deliver truck is in the shop and can't deliver until Tues. Good thing DH & I remember days of the iceman delivering blocks of ice to our families, so we will be making daily runs to the store for bags of ice. Now it's just a matter of draining the water (we set the bags in plastic tubs). I sure hope this is the last fridge we buy - I was really fussy about details. This one holds gallon jugs on the door, plus both door and inside shelves are 1/2 size, so can be arranged to suit. Won't need to do the usual juggling to get the Thanksgiving bird inside.

This has been one expensive 2 weeks - new clothes washer, $400 worth of dental work for me, and now a new fridge. No fall long weekend dancing trip for us this year. Will stick to the local spots.

The rest of the should be great - temps are back up to 70 and I want to go for a long walk with my Nordic poles and enjoy the Fall color.
