Another Thanksgiving has come and gone which means we're nearing the end of yet another year. The older we get, the more swiftly the years pass and I long for the days when a school day seemed a week long. This past year, like many recent ones, has been wrought with hard times: emotional, financial and medical - the all too sudden death of my grandmother (which I am still learning to cope with daily), the untimely passing of an uncle (my mother's younger brother), unexpected (and costly) car repairs, six plus months of fighting a stubborn illness. I could go on, but when I really think about it, this year has been replete with happiness, rebirth and celebrations as well - incredible vacations, a fairy tale wedding (I still can't believe my "baby" brother is married), a new job and one more important thing to be thankful for...a new oven!
If you recall from my second post, when Doug bought the house, we had a hole in the island where the oven should be. A hole that was too small for a conventional oven to fit without many renovations. A hole that even with renovations would not accommodate a conventional oven due to the inconvenient placement of the gas line. A hole in which we were told said ill placed gas line could not be moved or capped. A hole in which we were told it was nearly impossible to run the right kind of electric line to support an oven. A hole in which it seemed only an Easy Bake oven would ever reside.
