We finally have a working refrigerator! This is the old one, original to the 5th wheel. It would have been too expensive to repair because RV refrigerators are complex and run on both electricity and propane.
This plug-in cooler has been our temporary fridge for several months. We also have a full-size fridge in the shed by Mom's house, and use her fridge, of course, since we often cook there for all of us. But sometimes you need stuff right in your own kitchen!
Here's our new one, which Sam found at Lowe's on the recommendation of friends (thanks, Don and Linda!). He installed it one day while I was gone.
We love having more room and it fits perfectly.
We continue to work on Mom's deck. All the walking surfaces, steps and pillars are done, and Sam sanded the railings, so we'll be starting those soon.
We had a surprise visitor last week. An actual, full-size blimp floated directly over the ranch, heading towards Tucson. It was much larger than it appears and was the first one I've seen up close. We were all outdoors and had fun watching it.
But Mom's favorite development was when Sam's coworker sent home 4 little pieces of homemade carrot cake. Sam and Mom each had one for lunch. I was in Benson doing laundry. Sam left for his afternoon shift and by the time I got home, the cake was gone! Oh well, the pieces were small and she won't live forever!
What a difference the sun makes. We're having a few days of rain, and early this morning a ray burst through the clouds, illuminating a narrow line of hills and a rainbow at the end of our drive. A few minutes later, a totally different view.
Then the clouds shifted and we were bathed in light again.
I hope you all have a great week!
