Farewell Toaster Oven

September 8, 2018 2 Comments

Toaster Oven
Dec., 1959-Sept., 2018

You were a wedding gift 59 years ago. You’ve made our toast every morning and reheated our snacks. We remember who gave you to us. We intended to write GE to tell them about you, but didn’t. You outlived GE’s small appliance division anyway.
You made our toast yesterday and then quietly turned off, not to be revived. Rest in peace.

Rest in Peace

                       Farewell My Friend

    I am so sorry for your loss. There are stores that sell “graveyard” appliances and parts and perhaps you can resurrect it. Plus I know a guy who might be able to fix it!
