The Château de Chaumont sits on a bluff high above the Loire River as this image shows. The castle is fun to visit; many of the rooms are furnished. The grounds are beautiful, including art space and a special annual international garden festival. In the old days (like when I took this picture), visitors could wander around the grounds without paying an entrance fee. Those days are gone, but the fee is worth it if you've never been, and maybe even if you have.
Today is the day we're expecting delivery of our new refrigerator. Keep you fingers crossed! I plan to take advantage to wash the kitchen floor before it arrives. I lead an exciting life. It will be nice to move the food out of coolers and the old chest freezer in the garage (which we've been using as a interim fridge by turning it on and off to keep it cold but not freezing) and get back to a little normalcy.
Oh, washing the floor before a new fridge arrives IS exciting. Glad you’ll be able to get back to normal. That on again off again freezer couldn’t have been much fun.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the fridge and the clean floor!
ReplyDeleteDid you give the old fridge to l’Abbé Pierre or the like? They might have people able to fix it for free and give it to needy people? Seven years is not that old!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new fridge. And a clean kitchen floor is always a pleasure.
ReplyDeletemitch, I endeavor to wash the kitchen floor at least once every five years, whether it needs it or not.
ReplyDeletejudy, thanks! As you will see, luck was not with us on Tuesday.
chm, no. The local guy takes it away. What he does with it, I'm not sure. When he took our old clothes dryer away, he told us he'd use it to help train his young assistant in appliance repair.
emm, thanks!

ReplyDeleteHe might repair it and sell it as a “previously owned” fridge?
