Woo-hoo!  I have a functioning kitchen again. It’s small (we live in a travel trailer) but the refrigerator now works after weeks and weeks of waiting for a replacement part.  We have been able to reconnect the propane so the stove and oven work, too.  Maybe I’ll get back to recipes again.  No promises —…
