Today I realize my garbage

Disposal is over 20 years old…

Before this one I had 3 garbage

Disposals in the same house

For the 25 years before..,

Before I would buy what was on sale

As we had a family, we were young

Tried to be fugal but I have learned

Over the years that you can’t go cheap

With something that runs everyday

At many hours of the day and you

Depend on it to work…

We remodeled our kitchen 20

Years ago and in our budget

Was $$$ for the top of the line

Disposal…

I can’t say we put the top of the line

Of every appliance cause we didn’t…

But I have found over the years that

The corners you cut that seem

Unimportant get replaced every

3 to 5 years…

Like the trusty sump pump..,

Out of sight and usually only

One in the family is aware of its

Importance…

On a rainy night I can’t sleep

Unless I can hear my pump

Going off at a regular cadence…

I try to replace mine every 3 years

Because ONE failure spells disaster

And a lot of $$$ in cleanup…

This retired bride tries to

Keep everything working…
