| This custom fridge/freezer is something like $34,000. No joke. |
During the storm this summer, lots of Linda's friends were without power for a week or longer. Since the amazing Deracho was such a surprise, people didn't have time to plan for it. She has heard stories of food in the fridge/freezer rotting so bad that when they finally opened them to clean it out, the whole house smelled horrible. If our area does lose power tomorrow, Linda wanted to get ahead of the storm. Yesterday, she cleaned out the refrigerator. There were old 1/2 full bottles of salad dressing from cave man days that went in the trash. She hates mayo, yet she found a brand new unopened jar of mayo that expired 6 months ago! The freezer also had a good cleaning. Any opened bags of veggies that were on the oldish side; all her snack foods (poppers, cheese sticks, pot stickers) that were opened went into the trash bag. She cooked a bunch of stuff to eat this week, and the rest she'll keep in the freezer with her gallon Ziploc bags of ice. (Which reminds her to make more this morning.)
Remember Linda's Target deal of the century? Well, here is the new Big Bed! Linda loves it so much. We just have to get some kind of window treatments to match. She wants something really simple because drapes hanging to the floor look grandma-ish to her (But wait, she IS a grandma!) She also realized the photo over the bed is way too small. That's easy enough to fix since we have a room downstairs of pictures, prints and mirrors that she can replace it with. The little black light needs to be replaced too because it's broken and the shade falls off.

| 80% off Bedspread! With her $10 gift card, it was $19.99!! |
It's hard to tell from the photo, but the spread is actually gray with a black embossed leaf print. The picture makes it look shiny, but it's a matte finish. In person, the spread makes the black leather headboard look amazing. Linda just loves our house. It's small and old school (1982 area) compared to our counties standards (1st or 2nd richest county in America at one time, maybe still is), but to Linda, it's a haven of peace and tranquility. Every single time she opens our front door and comes home in, she never wants to leave again. Her favorite place to read or pray is in the recliner in the living room. (Yesterdays post.. the chair to the right of the National Geographic safari lamp.) She turns off most of the lights and just has a dim lamp and the twinkle lights from the palm tree lit. Speaking of leaving the house... she better start getting ready for church!
