What to do when your freezer ups and dies.

This morning Deanna, Dennise, and myself left for an eye appointment for Deanna as well as picking up my glasses while we were there. Deanna now needs glasses so of course we need sports glasses so I left a message with a company I know that makes them to see if I can get a deal. 

We left there to attend the 2nd grade field day for my daughter Dorothy which went well. I believe every class went away with a ribbon or two. I had let Dennise drive all the way home from Valatie, to the school, and then back home. 

Here is where it gets interesting. We all decide we will have ice cream. Deanna tells me it is soupy, so after my husband checks out the freezer which we got second hand several years ago the verdict is it has died. 

Now I get on the internet and phone at the same time to see who has a freezer we can afford as well as being able to deliver it ASAP. We ended up going with Lowes and they will deliver Friday morning. 

Now anyone who knows me, knows that ever since we went without food for a while back when my oldest was a toddler I have been couponing and stock piling which has included our freezers, so we had to go through our chest freezer, upright freezer that died, and the freezer above our fridge to see what we could toss, what could be cooked, and what could be saved. 

The most expensive products were saved first, then by need. My husband is currently cooking about 40 hamburgers, which we hope to refreeze once the freezer is up and going, stuffed peppers, 4 pies, 2 pizza's, pork chops, english muffin pizza's, fish filets, chicken wings, as well as boiling broccoli, and chicken that we cut up for chicken noodle soup for tomorrow, 

I didn't think to take a picture of our freezer when it was full, but caught one before we emptied it all of the way, which you can see above. 

Sure it was bad because by the thawing which was all of the outside items as well as the door items it had to have been not working for a few days. We lost some food but the good thing that came out of it was that we have cleaned out the old outdated items. We didn't lose everything which would have been worse. We made the best of what we could from the loss, the best thing is that breakfast, lunch, and dinners are all planned out for the next few days. 

Sky 3

MarksvilleandMe reviews

Sky 3 Emerald Mara 

written by

William Amerman

Sky 3 even though called Sky 3 is really part 2 which is why I am now reading Sky 2 which is actually part one, not sure why the author wrote them out of order but they make so much more sense when read in order. I was a little confused but still enjoyed them out of order, but they are just a better read in order.

I can not give an accurate review for Sky 3 until I am done with Sky 2 so I will return and do a updated review once I have finished the book.

You can purchase Sky 3 on Amazon.

The legend of Muldoin continues. Nick and Anna struggle to save Ground 42 from exploding in civil war. Anna's father either has murdered five scientists or has been framed for it. The Special Police colonel responsible for the uprising has lost access to his anti-psych meds. Two brothers show up to lead Nick and Anna to areas of the World kept secret for centuries. And Detritus Machine, the most fearsome Deformer in the history of the Deformer Corps, wreaks absolute destruction on everything that stands between himself and the object of his fury.

Sky3, Emerald Mara, extends the story of an enormous, self-contained World that was constructed over seven hundred years in the past. The World houses over eighty million people who have no knowledge of what, if anything, exists outside the walls. Until one of them finds out.

----------------------------------------------
Please note that the chronological story order for the Sky series is Sky2, Sky3, Sky1 and the soon-to-be-published Sky4

FlashBright LED Bike Light

This is the second bike light we have gotten for our two youngest girls. I had a light for my bike growing up but not nearly as nice as theirs. We wanted our daughters to be safe when they are driving their bikes home at night. Now they can see as well as other motorists being able to see them. 

We live rurally so I want them to be able to see the road and any animals they might come across like bob cats, bears, deer, snakes, etc. They are usually home before dark but sometimes they get playing and run late getting home. I want to make sure they are safe. 

Each light has three different light settings. The red light comes with 2 button cell batteries but you will need to put in 3 AAA batteries into the black light. My girls love how they can take the flashlight out to use for other things like looking for frogs, slugs, etc.
