!), digital cameras, DVDs, and other items I enjoy or are on my wish list!Old stove, new stove
I mentioned previously that we got a new stove in May. Both the old and new stoves are 40 inches wide, have a small oven and a large oven, and have 4 burners. The difference is that, for years, only the 2 right-hand burners and the large oven worked. In April, the back burner on the right side stopped working.
We've been enjoying 4 working burners since the new stove arrived! Whoop!
