Getting something from my childhood!!!!

[norgeway]

My neighbor the second house from my homeplace passed away about a month ago one month shy of 102 years old, She was as close to me as my Grandmothers were,, I used to stop at her house just about every day on my way home from shool to get a homemade biscuit, anyway, to make a long story short, her Sister called me and said she had a few things for me, an old electric fan, and a few more things, I asked what she was going to do with the stove and fridge, she said "You want those!!" I said I did, so all I have to do is go get them...1975 models Frigidaire Imperial top freezer fridge, 30 inch Custom Deluxe Frigidaire range...in glorious AVACODO..which makes Donald cringe!!LOL, but you can bet I will keep these, because I sure have eaten lots of good food off of them, She used to cook me breakfast every year for my birthday! i can see Her now making pancakes on her Mothers cast iron griddle, wonderful memories! I will post pics as soon as I get them!!!I remember what she had before these, a 1939 Frigidaire fridge, that her Niece still has, and has been running all these years without a single service call!! and a 1952 Thrifty Thirty Frigidaire that she traded in in 75 on the new set!

Awesome!

We had that fridge in our first new house and it was excellent! Still GM and still real quality, but they were not for much longer after that, unfortunately. And we have that same or similar range here, in Harvest Gold, it has the all glass high backsplash panel with full width light and the burner controls that have the red sector visual displays and self-cleaning, oui?

Hans that is so cool that you're going to get those things!  I know they will be so special to you and you'll treasure them forever!

That's wonderful! So thoughtful of your late neighbour's sister to think of you, too. She must know they'll be going somewhere they will be appreciated - congratulations!!
Can't wait to see some pictures... hint hint

Are you getting the cast iron griddle too?  That would be the icing on the cake!!!  Just keep telling Donald that getting these avocado appliances is your way of going "green".  And maybe after you telling him long enough, he'll start to believe it. lol
