Look what I found at a thrift store today.
Took a donation of an old over-the-range microwave to the local City Missin thrift store yesterday. Went back today just out of curiosity to find out how they priced it. It wasn't on the floor yet. Spotted this Hover Convertible #U4369 along the back wall. Looked super clean and marked $8.98. Tried it out. Runs perfectly. Took it to the cashier, so proud of my find and ----- IT'S HALF PRICE DAY! Paid $4.45. Put on a new belt, disposable bag, and light bulb. Has a small nick in the cord, fixed with electrical tape for now. Think I have a perfect cord somewhere. A good cleaning and - voila!
Happy Fourth of July to all the American collectors!!!!! |

These two are not thrilled with my fab find. They're too busy supervising the redecorating going on. Took all the woodwork out of the kitchen and hall, stripped and painted wth wood and getting ready to repaper when the paper arrives.
Oh, by the way, that's City Mission. I think I'm the one "missin" something. Maybe I've inhaled too many paint fumes !!!! LOL!
Happy Fourth to y'all.
I'll be painting AGAIN!
