The Reality of a New Refrigerator

On Saturday, a new refrigerator was delivered to my house.

While this might sound like I am sharing a mundane detail of my life that isn't worthy of anyone's time, it's much more than about putting a new appliance in my house.

Although I was excited about getting a new fridge, something that has been on my list for quite some time, I didn't think about much more than that until I started to put the items into the new unit. At that point I began to realize there are memories around such things as jars of horseradish.

My mom loved horseradish and always had to have it on her sausage. The little jars were never enough and I bought more of it in the past few years than probably in my entire life. I found two jars although one was seemingly empty. If I had to guess, she put it on the list but kept the old jar in case I didn't buy a new one in time and she could use scrape the liquid off the sides of the old one.
