Major Purchases

We're doing out best to get the economy out of its slump. Yesterday, we bought a cooktop and a double oven for the kitchen. The old cooktop, which we installed when we moved in in 1993--has 3 working burners and several corroded parts. It is dying. The oven must have been original to the house-- 1976. It still works, but the self clean died several years ago, which makes for a disgusting oven. On Wednesday, we will have some new stuff. A five burner cooktop, and the oven has one convection oven and one conventional oven. I have no idea what a convection oven does, but it is newer technology than what we have now.
