Vacation:
We went on vacation,

and while we played

something sinister awoke in the deep.

We fettered away our time, in ignorant bliss,


while the beast grew strong.

The moral of this story: Close your freezer Dummy.

    Yes! Vacation status: excellent. Cleaning out freezer status: still putting it off until I get up the courage to face it.

I found mine in the thrift store for $35.  I fell in love with it right away, but it wasn't perfect yet. I carefully cleaned all the surfaces, firstly to prepare it for refinishing, and secondly because it came from a thrift store, so who knows where it has been.  Gross. Then I took off all the hardware, including the cabinet doors.  Then I wiped on two coats of my favorite Gerneral Finishes Gel Stain , the color I used was "Java". I really love that stuff.
