Thankful Thursday #1

I’ve designated my Thursday posts to write about something I’m thankful for.  It may be big or small, doesn’t matter – I’m still thankful.

As you can see by the picture, I’m thankful for my microwave this Thursday.  Our family was without our microwave for two long weeks.  For a busy family like ours, this baby comes in handy and two weeks felt like two months!  The magnetron (what produces the radiation, if this goes out, you can’t heat your food) was not working.  The funny part of this is for several days, non of us said anything to each other about our food not getting hot!  We all individually thought we were crazy or that we forgot to hit a button.  One day while baking, I had to soften a stick of butter and that’s when I discovered I wasn’t crazy, this microwave is totally broken!  I just knew I could live without a microwave in my life for two weeks…what’s the big deal…right?  My mom did it and so did my grandmother, yeah…NO.  I did get through, but it wasn’t easy.  I had to heat things in the stove or in the oven every time and that was a huge pain. You never realize how much you depend on something until that something is no longer dependable.

Well long story short, it’s fixed and I’m very thankful!
