Today would have been Bill Smail’s 73rd birthday. I think of him often, and I think of Rick and wonder if he is doing ok in their little log cabin on his own. I hope he’s well and keeping busy. I should call him.

I worked both stores this morning, then stopped at the post office for Joe on the way home. They tried to mail old dealer plates back to PENNDOT, and our little local post office (not Greensburg) said the zip code was wrong and they wouldn’t mail them! Greensburg Post Office handled it and now they are on their way! The new ones have a picture of a car on them.

I just got home and made a fruit salad when Rosendahl’s called – they were on the way with my fridge. I stuck my salad aside and got the boxes – emptied out the fridge, then moved all the furniture to make a path from the door to the kitchen. There were 3 guys – two carried the old one out and brought the new one in, and the third handled the water connections for the ice and water dispensers. There are a lot of temperature choices so I’ll have to study the manual.

It took me an hour to figure out where to put everything. This fridge (French doors and bottom freezer) is arranged so differently! I really like it but I feel like I’ll need a map to find where I put things. I may end up making changes as things go forward.

I did a load of laundry and just folded it to iron later. There are a few other chores to do this evening but I just keep going back to peek in the fridge. It should be making ice soon – he said to expect it tomorrow.
