Our propane refrigerator is connected to a carbon monoxide detector. It has gone off several times, but false alarms. When reset, no more alarms. Kind of takes away our confidence in it's ability to really detect a real problem. It's also bad because it automatically turns the refrigerator off. We are always afraid when we go away it will shut things down and we'll lose our food. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-30860520923629140292014-11-22T04:54:41.099-08:002014-11-22T04:54:41.099-08:00Great finds!

The guide asked me in a snarky tone if I realized that I was sitting on a 300 year old piece of furniture. Of course I did not realize that, but I knew I was in trouble and promptly stood up, quite embarrassed.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-68700211046904450252014-11-14T00:04:19.227-08:002014-11-14T00:04:19.227-08:00Love the vintage ornaments - what a great find!Love the vintage ornaments - what a great find!Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.com
