Why do people love there refrigerators? I just don’t get it…

Why do people love there refrigerators? I just don’t get it…

Refrigerators have been around for years, I just don’t get why people love there refrigerators? I can’t remember a day when I said “Gees’ I just love my refrigerator”

A couple refrigerators do stick in my mind, one being my Mother in laws; bless her heart, she had the same copper colored frig for years!!! The second one that comes to mind is a seller I had a few years ago, she had a huge stainless steel frig with a TV in the front of it, yes I said a TV!!!

When Realty Five of Defiance sits down with home owners to list their house we simply ask the seller if the appliances stay in the home, are they included with the listing? Quit often one of them will say “Yes the new owners can have the appliances but NOT MY REFRIGERATOR”

A couple weeks ago I sold a house to my future daughter in law, when we wrote the offer up we of course asked for the stove and refrigerator to stay with the house, guess what? The seller said yes you can have the stove but NOT THE REFRIGERATOR.

See what I mean… people love there refrigerators and when it’s time for a new one where do you suppose the old one goes? The garage, so then they really like their garage refrigerator and really love their new kitchen refrigerator! Our old frig is going to my son and his soon to be wife in their soon to be new house. My husband Tim spent hours and hours cleaning our old one up to the point it almost looks brand new again, I just know the kids will LOVE their new / old refrigerator, plus the soon to be Father in law scored some major brownie points!

My husband and I purchased a refrigerator this week, yap a brand new one… we didn’t get fancy with a bunch of bells and whistles but for the first time ever I have an ice maker, no more filing up ice cube trays for me! Do I love my frig? No can’t say that I do, at least not yet~

On a side note we did really like the service we received from “C” Stephen's, I remember as a kid growing up on the East Side good ole Charlie Stephen's kept me, my sisters and half the neighborhood kids stocked with refrigerator boxes to play with, we had a great time sliding down Kingsbury Hill in those boxes!

I bet if a frig could talk it would have all kinds of stories to tell… do you love your refrigerator???
