Gone….. (4 Comments)

Filed under: In the Kitchen — The Spider Herself @ 3:08 pm

A Companion of ours has passed.

A Faithful Companion, standing by us from the very beginning of our marriage. Moving with us to Kansas and sharing the small, 28 foot travel trailer bunkhouse, never complaining. Even when mistreated or under-appreciated this Companion faithfully worked with us. Back to Oregon in the back of the pickup, regulated to the small apartment when we first moved here. Then on to our first house, where operations were difficult but somehow we continued our relationship, ever watchful to not step on toes.

But those days are over now Our Friend was fine in the morning then making strange sounds and smelling at lunch, now standing silent after 16 plus years. Sigh.

Is it silly to cry over a Microwave?

I’m going through withdrawal and it hasn’t been twenty four hours yet.

    The first microwave we bought brand new when we moved here, broke after just 4 years. It was a Panasonic so we were suprised that it died in such a short time.
