Ft. Smart Fingerprint Resistant French-Door Refrigerator with Keurig® K-Cup® Brewing System It's great for just the 2 of us, have had no problems with it, in less when we have company we have to bring up ice from the downstairs refrigerator since the new one just can't make enough ice quick enough. The holding bucket just isn't that large, for our model their was no option for a second ice maker. Not a big deal. Our's does make Coffee with the K-cup machine in the outside door where you get ice and water, t which is nice. So far that is still working perfectly. Home Depot salesmen did say" Whatever you get just stay away from Samsung Refrigerators, lot's of problems, you don't want one of those." Ours is similar GE Profile, 27.7 cft one but without Keurig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I always seem to stick with LG for TV purchases. Our new TV is LG too. Like it a lot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has entered the phase where she is doing 6 months of oral chemo. The good thing is that she does that from home. It is nice that the kids will keep her busy this summer, as we will. I think often of how it is going for all of you. I’m certain your extended family here does as well. I wish for the best summer possible for your daughter and your family. 🤗❤️ 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take to make the spheres and how many does it make? When you first get the fridge it takes about 24 hours for the first batch to drop. I think it makes 6-8 at a time. I have never run out. The regular ice maker bucket is not that big. You can run out of cubbed ice fairly quickly if you have a bunch of people over. For us it’s just right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet --- A year ago our boys asked for a vacation "down the memory lane".... To make a very long story short, it is usual here, after a long and stressful army service, to save some money after the discharge (there are several incentive places of work for discharged soldiers -- gas stations, agriculture, building, working with elderly) and tour the world, mostly South America, India, the Far East. The boys took pity on their mom, who after 4 years of sleepless nights while they've done their combat service, was not psychological ready for several months of additional stress, and looked to combine "seeing the world" without unnecessary worries for me. Both being sea scouts in their youth, they've found a job instructing water sports at Club Med Palmiye, Turkey. DS1 worked there for 2 years, and DS2 for several months, until he completed his training as security man at our embassies, first in Cairo, and then, as a kind of "compensation" for the "difficult environment", back to the "roots" -- Brussels. They asked to spend our next family vacation where it all started, and to show the spouse and the kids this marvelous place. DS1 has made life long friendships with people all over the world while working there. Bitter -- We knew before traveling that DS2 and his family will leave us in order to seek a better and less stressful life in Netherlands. August 3rd 😢 We tried to make the most of us being together as a family and bond more with the grandkids. We succeeded. I have a big hole in my heart, and DH is plain shattered. The club is very big (I've timed, walking very quickly, 10 mins from our rooms to the reception...), well maintained, with extensive gardening, which DH couldn't stop photographing. Some examples -- Ah Dani , so glad you had a lovely holiday but my heart goes out to you with DS2 and family travelling abroad to live ❤️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both need the language to work. For the moment, DS2 will work for his law office, they're OK with him working from abroad. With the rent they'll have from their apt. here, supposedly they'll make do, until DIL will find some work... DIL is leaving here loving parents, one brother with 3 kids and one sister. They're a very close knit family and it is very hard on both parts. I plan to visit, hopefully DH will "break down" too and agree to fly to visit them. For the moment, he's very very angry... It's hard but hopefully you will have lots of visits. DILs mum lives in Kenya and visits twice a year for a month plus Alex visits her once a year (not this year because of baby Theo) and face-times all the time. I was sure she would come home for good once her grandchild was born but she loves it so and considers it her home now 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we have people over for cocktails I have to buy a extra bag of ice to help make the frozen drinks everyone likes. The fridge we have downstairs is a side by side, the Icemaker in that one probably takes up almost 1/4 of the freezer space. Makes about 10 to 15 lbs of ice. It's like having a bag of extra ice on hand all the time. 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Willowbrook Mall which was closer to Montclair than Paramus Park. Another small local chain in NJ was Hahne's and Bambergers. Montclair had a Hahne's and I worked their over college breaks. Shopping was so much better back then! Jennifer, whenever we visit our daughter in NJ, Willowbook is the closest mall. I'm not familiar with Hahne's I remember Bambergers became Macy's in the Nanuet Mall near us in Rockland County in 1986. Montclair is a lovely town. It's going to hit 100 today. High 90s low 100s for the next 10 days at least, no rain. 2011 we had over 40 consecutive days of over 100 temps, no rain. Water restrictions turned most lawns brown. What I learned about Dallas area weather living here: When it rains, it STORMS, and when it's hot it's SIZZLING HOT. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
