Time for a New Refrigerator

   Well, today we went shopping for a new refrigerator...not something I like doing so close to Christmas but we have been leaving food on the porch for about a week now and it was going to be get another can of Freon($30) to put in the refrigerator we have or buy a new one.  We've already  added Freon twice.  Jeff had been to Robinson's in Mohawk looking for the parts he needed to put Freon in the first time and was impressed with the small store.  Mom had bought many appliances there over the years and had always been pleased with the appliances and the service.  I was satisfied going to Lowe's but Jeff wanted to check out Robinson's first so we went there today. 
   We were shown several top label refrigerators...Amana, Frigidaire and others...and the prices were competitive with what I had seen online with Lowe's.  Then Jeff told the guy (Kim ?) that we wanted a smaller unit and he showed us a couple and we picked this Amana.  The price was right ($499), delivery would be free, and the unit was guaranteed for a year.  We picked the one we liked and it will be delivered on Wednesday.
   Then we stopped at the Herkimer Library and I printed off the distribution form for my deferred compensation fund, filled out and faxed it in requesting a payment.  That was the easy part.   It hurt a little to spend that much money on a kitchen appliance but I had set up the DCF for just that...car repairs, septic tank draining and kitchen appliances.  It would have been much more fun to spend that much money on some yarn or jewelry!!
