Our old one had been creaking along for 26 years and threatening every summer to give up the ghost. We literally prayed it through last summer, and there hasn't been a south Georgia summer day this year that I haven't thanked God for that new one. <br /><br />Air conditioning ranks right up there with elastic as one of the world's greatest inventions. <br /><br />Found you on Tuesday Unwrapped.

Our unit went out last week, and we are so very fortunate to know an electrician who specializes in AC and furnaces. Fred gave him a call and he was there inside of an hour and had it fixed and cooling in 45 minutes.<br /><br />We haven't gotten the bill yet, though. It was just under $1000 when the furnace went out on the coldest day of this past winter.<br /><br />And hot?! I have just checked my outdoor thermometer, which is in the shade, and it's registering 100 degrees. Which is why I'm inside and the dogs wanted to stay out for only 4 minutes!ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-79878549796360442632010-06-22T13:36:51.223-04:002010-06-22T13:36:51.223-04:00I didn't grow up with AC either and we lived i...I didn't grow up with AC either and we lived in the river in the summer time!
