Lots of New

It's seems like we've been getting a lot of new things lately. A new dog and now a new range. This purchase wasn't by choice. On Wednesday I was baking dinner and Rod came it told me I guess you are buying a new oven since the coil is burning up. I totally missed what he was saying and told him that I was sure that it was just something in the bottom of the stove that spilled. Later I went in to check on the food and the oven temp was on the rise and the coil in the bottom of the oven was literally a blaze! The burning was working its way around the coil. At this point we turned the oven off and finally after about 15 minutes the fire went out. The kids of course were all worried. Leah was worried that our house was going to burn down. Luckily that didn't happen.

Today we decided to go and shop for a new range. I have a lot going on Saturday and Rod won't be able to shop next week since he is busy with work. I did a little Internet research trying to decide what I wanted. The process of picking the Range wasn't as difficult as I thought, but the process of getting the old range out and the new one in was quite challenging. Rod and I practically destroyed the old one getting it out. When he brought the new one in I was glad that it was a bit lighter, but not much. I had 3 stairs to go when I couldn't do it anymore. Rod's brother said he would come, but I wasn't going to have him come for 3 steps. We finally got it up.

Now it is in the kitchen and Rod is working on hooking up the electrical cord. The kids of course are helping! The had to get their tools out and work on things too.




I am excited about my new range, but hoping it turns out to be as good as it sounds. Now, to decide what I should bake and cook with it!
