We got up the other morning to a nice summer rain. We knew there wouldn't be any mowing going on so we agreed upon a road trip. We measured the available floor space for a new cookstove stove. We measured the cargo opening in the jeep. We hit the road, South to Chillicothe. Lowe's was our target.
The folks probably bought the coppertone apartment-sized stove used. I don't know. Maybe the hometown hardware store had it in stock for several years and dad made an offer. Anyway, the stove came to be at the cabin in Missouri and it served the family well for 40-something years.
We'd never used the oven more than a time or two before we retired. Since, we have baked meatloaf and even a cake.
I'd replaced the pans a couple of times but I needed to do it again.
Next week we are having family dinner. I'm going to use this oven to bake cobbler. I'll use the timer and all the bells and whistles that comes on this 'basic' model.
I glad I will never have to clean this one.
I'm embarrassed to show the oven but -- there it is.
Thank goodness the new one is 'self clean'!
