I think you will someday have the fridge of your dreams, and I hope it will be joyful for all that you’ve had to go through to get there! My mother kept the fridge they bought the year I was born, and it started making a strange noise, and instead of getting it fixed, she bought a newer model and has regretted it ever since. She’s on her 3 fridge in less years than the older one ran…sometimes it just pays to have the old crazy ones around…

Oh my, thank you for dipping into the well of your soul. I had to read this one to my husband of 26 years. I am reminded even more to thank him for being here with me. Many more happy years to you both. I may look at my refrigerator a little different now.

I have a double wide and it’s a piece of crap. The shelves are too narrow for most things and it’s a pain to find anything in. Isn’t it funny/sad how we get our hearts set on stuff that we really don’t need? (and realize what’s actually important farther down the road) It’s that 20-20 hindsight.

“Vintage” 1982 wallpaper? Next you’ll be telling me that you were country when country wasn’t cool.

I come here to be reminded of the important things in life … and sometimes that means baby furniture stuffed with fresh produce.

He must be quite a man for you to sacrifice cherry baby furniture for a backwards fridge. Someday, you will get the fridge of your dreams and the never-dying fridge can take its well-deserved retirement in the garage where it will happily hold all sorts of soda. SOme day.

Very nice post. One of my favorites, I think.

Great reminder. It’s easy to focus on the lack. Not as easy to focus on what we already have. Easy to focus on the “what I don’t like” instead of on what works.

Well, I guess we will know we’ve made it when we can have a kitchen that will sport a shiny new double-wide sub-zero.

But, my guess is that when that fridge finally passes from this to the next life, you will mourn its loss in that it represents all that baby furniture that never was… a final trip to that time, that place, that space.

That fridge has followed us from Seattle to State College, to Dublin, to San Anselmo, and to Astoria. AND even more houses than that… two in State College and two in San Anselmo. It boggles my mind to think about it.

One would think that with all the moving around, *IT* would have given up on us a long, long time ago.

I think we’ve had our toaster longer. Then, I think our Espresso Machine is the next most long-lived appliance we have… both of which have been around far too long.

It doesn’t matter, really. I’m here with you. Here with G. Sub-Zero or not, my life is abundant with all that is important and I am happy.
