Okay, I bet I win this one hands down. In my chest freezer is a very large framed college diploma, some books belonging to my grandmother, some things made for me by my mother, Hubby's childhood teddy bear, dolls made by dear Aunt Nell, and other items. What pray tell is going on? Well, after swabbing out the freezer a few times, most recently being Hurricane Rita, we decided first that only items in plastic containers would reside there. Then, I realized that I didn't fill it back up very much last year and was wasting electricity. So I used up what was in there and unplugged it. Left it a bit propped open to air out completely. Then when Ernesto was threatening the Gulf, they told us originally that it would hit Texas/Louisiana. I went through and checked my boxes of records, mentally ran through my checklists and realized that we just couldn't take all that we did last year. So where to put the extra stuff? I was walking through the laundry room when I realized the freezer was standing right there. Large enough not to blow away and tall enough not to flood. So I packed my belongings into the freezer. Hubby thought it was a bit strange, but after almost 30 years, he should be used to that. Anyway, I realize now that with the holidays and people talking about stocking up, I might have to just go empty the freezer and plug her in. She'll help alot when those turkeys go on sale and all. I can make stuff up early and freeze em. So my big storage locker will now return into a thrifty freezer. Until next hurricane season....
