Catching Up - Long

A blessed New Year to you all, and wishes for healing all around for all the various ailments, whether human or furry friends!

We have been gone for one month, driving to Glendale, AZ to visit my son and dil for Christmas, then to Carlsbad, New Mexico to meet a third cousin I found doing genealogy but had never met, then to San Antonio to see the Alamo, then Ocala, Florida to see an older sister, then to Port St. Lucie, Florida to visit friends for 2 days, then home. Phew....I swear I will never leave home again!! 6,000 miles on the road is just too many, LOLOL.

Stopped and go some groceries before going home, only to find that the refrigerator had quit. Fortunately got home before the end of the day Friday and were able to obtain a repairman for Monday. As an aside note, if your appliances quit, call the number listed in your book to get the company approved repairman. DH went nutsy and hollered "Call (the guy where we bought it) so we did and it cost an extra $75 for him to come out and tell us it would cost $200-$300 to repair but he'd have to call someone else to do the job. Then we found our book and called the 800 number and wound up with a different person than he was going to call and the total cost would be $97.50 including the service call. Let the first guy know we would be getting our own repair, he wasn't too happy about that (we guess he was going to call one of his friends to do the $300 job).

The cold followed us everywhere we went (Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, South Florida) and it did a little flurrying in South Florida (last time it snowed there was 1977 -- I had 400 quilts in my house to hang for a show and no heat (no I didn't use them hahahaha). Glad to get back to Tennessee, it is close to 50s in the daytime.

Love y'alls quilts for your grands! And glad they liked them, I never hear from mine no matter what gets sent to them, Christmas, birthdays or otherwise.

Well I"ll quit yakking now and again, wish all of you the best in the coming year for yourselves and your fur babies. Hugs. Lavinia-TN

Lavinia:
What "book" are you refering to? The appliance book that comes with it, or your homeowner's insurance?
Just in cast this happens, would like to feel smart and know who to call first.

The appliance repair book would tell where to get the repair done, but there is sometimes a possibility that homeowner's insurance will cover the cost of lost food if it defrosts and can't be used. I guess that, too, would depend on your deductible.
