Salvaging what I could,
What was necessary,
Into the blue cooler,
The tears streamed down my face.

This bliss was short lived.
Not more then 72 hours later, our loss continued as our oven and cook top stopped working too. Another $400 and an additional wait for a part and visit left another hole in our wallet.
