I have a working oven

This is an interesting story, at least to me.  

Cliff and I decided to look at places that sell used appliances, including Mr. Fixit, fifty miles away from our house.  None of those places we talked to had any kind of a gas stove, let alone a propane gas stove.  I would have been happy to buy a used one to save money.  I've also been watching for a kitchen range on Facebook Marketplace ever since mine bit the dust, and only saw one for propane.  The seller had just sold it before I got to her.  

The guy in Blue Springs, though, told me a story about Samsung stoves:  there is a class action lawsuit for that stove because of oven failure.  When Samsung noticed this, he said, they took away the warranty.  Also, he told me all the new appliances are junk, but I remember hearing that quite some time ago on the news.

So we went to Home Depot, where we buy all our junk appliances.  They only had one gas stove on the floor, so if you want to buy one, you can't really see it in person; you have to order it on their website.  There one they had was a very basic white stove, and it was cheap for a new one because evidently they wanted rid of it.  The cost was $499, plus $45 sales tax.  Then there is the gas to propane conversion kit at $29.  And because of my last stove failing after only four years, I added $135 to the total so if anything happened to it, they would have it fixed.  I did not feel good about it, but I WANTED AN OVEN!!!!!  They told me it would arrive on Monday.  I handed the guy my credit card, and we left after being told it would be at our house on Monday.  As we approached Oak Grove, Cliff suggested we eat at the Chinese place there.  It isn't my favorite Chinese place, so I suggested the Mexican place we never get tired of.

We hardly ever eat out any more, so I really enjoyed it.

At home, I still wasn't really happy about spending all that money.  For some reason, I got my computer and went to Facebook Marketplace. Lo and behold, the first thing I saw was a propane gas stove; they had been asking $150 but had just changed it to $100.  Now get this:  It was less than two miles from me, in my little town of Wellington!

I messaged her.  She and her husband were at work, but when she called to tell us they were home, Cliff and Arick went and got it.

First, though, I called Home Depot and told them to cancel our order.

It is a basic stove too, and hasn't always been treated well, so it's sort of like myself, because I'm just about as basic as anything gets.  But the seller told me the oven worked.  The first thing we did was make sure of that by putting a dial thermometer in the middle of it.  It got to 350° in no time.  This morning I made homemade biscuits (at 425°).  No problem. 

I think maybe Jesus was watching out for me yesterday.
