Yikes!

You never know when something is going to melt, break or just quit working around here.  It's just how life goes.  Saturday night we had two things happen...first I smelled something strange near the kitchen and asked Drew to come check and he found that an outlet had melted in Eliana's room.  I'm thankful I noticed the smell and we found it quickly.  I think our noses are more sensitive now.


Then, I was putting a batch of cookie bars in the oven and as I was closing the door the glass just shattered.  It was crazy!  Thankfully I wasn't hurt and the linoleum didn't melt from the hot glass.  God was gracious tonight!  We are always so grateful for his protection.  I'm hoping the landlord will get us a new oven, since it is as old as dirt anyway, but Drew suggested she might just replace the door so I'll try not to get my hopes up.


Anyway, just a glimpse into how life goes here.  Maybe I'll take my unbaked cookie bars to one of the neighbors and ask to use their oven and have a chance to hang out.  We'll see!
