The gift that keeps on giving.

The gift that keeps on giving. For those who have been paying attention, the subscribers to Southern California Gas & Electric contribute a small monthly sum to a fund which pays to weatherize the homes of seniors at no cost to the recipient. Three or four months ago on my house they weather stripped all doors and windows and insulated the 'attic' to keep summer heat to a minimum. At the time my old refrigerator was discussed but nothing happened. I didn't think it would be gracious to complain so I didn't say anything. Then last night as I was assuming the prone position for a night of TV, the phone rang. I answered to find a young woman informing me that my new energy conscious fridge would be here tomorrow (today as of this writing). After three months. What a surprise. The down side is that the delivery will be between 8am and 2 pm. Well, I wasn't planning on going anywhere anyhow. The only real heat leak left is the windows that I had hoped they would replace but what the hell. Thank you SoCal G&P and its subscribers for reducing my calorie usage. What other surprises do they have in store for m e?
Gifts to seniors show me that we're all on this flight together.
