Opus 493 - Microwave

Our over-the-range microwave died. Sad day. Since we can't afford a new one, we had to learn how to do things the old fashioned way. Fortunately, my parents still have the microwave they bought in the 80's. It's huge, but it works great, and is the quietest microwave you'll ever hear. They don't use it because their new house has an over-the-range microwave. My mom used it at school until she retired a year and half ago. My dad pulled it out of the garage and made sure it was still working. My mom was able to bring it up when she, Aunt Ara, and Uncle Floyd came up for my cousin Bethany's wedding.

In honor of my Grandma Stevens, the old microwave is now a bread box.*

*My Grandma Stevens had a microwave that she never used. She always kept her bread in it :)
