Eulogy for an old friend. The oven at home.
September 2, 2018

Eulogy for an old friend. The oven at home.

The oven died. Where does one start? How does one write an eulogy for an old friend.? We worked through many recipes and holidays together…Na, That just is not enough. KA 22 had humble beginnings in Benton harbor Mi, KA 22 became the heart of the home. She was often mistaken as a wall mounted wall flower. Friends gathered around and interacted with KA 22. She had a warm disposition and event though later in her days ran a bit hot – strongly influenced our gatherings.

KA 22 was subtle,  patient, timely.. KA 22 will be missed

KA 22

The oven died. What to do from here?
