Refrigerators!

Two days before our last vacation, my refrigerator stopped working.  I was thankful it happened before we left because if I came home to a stopped fridge in the summer, it wouldn't be pretty.  My fridge was 18 years old.  It's moaned for 5 years and I kept telling the other half, we need to replace it.  Of course he said "wait until it goes".  

The salesman I got my new fridge from said "they only last 10 years now".  My mom had a fridge for years.  My friend Myrna still has her fridge and it's really old.  I believe she bought it in the 50's!   She reads my blog, so Myrna please let me know how old your fridge is.  I am so jealous.  

1960's refrigerator

I had one of these when I was first married.  I wish I knew how long it lasted, but I sold my house so I'll never know.  I bet it lasted over 20 years.  I remember those shelves that turned around!  

I miss the egg and butter containers.  Where did they go to?  My new fridge has wi-fi.  My stove has wi-fi too.  My oven sent me a message telling me it needed cleaning.  I hadn't used it yet, so I blocked it!  I am not setting up wi-fi on my new fridge.  Forget the wi-fi and give me an egg and compartment to keep my butter!
