Thankful for those who don't follow directions...





Today, I am thankful for my friends that make me smile and laugh. 
I am also thankful for my patience and ability to realize that reading instructions are an important part of anything.  
I had to add that in because I got this electric fireplace for free last night. 
I know you are thinking how did she do that? Well, the guy who had it said there was 2 things WRONG with it. 
1. the top of the mantel is chipped( no big deal probably from being moved  in an impatient rush (plus, it can get a makeover) and 
2. he said it wont turn on.  hmm... lets try this at home. 
I scooped it up and headed down the road.
First thing was READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK. 
step number 1 was to plug it in ( check!) 
step 2. HOLD POWER BUTTON IN FOR 5 seconds.(check!) IT TURNED ON!! 
step 3 was to set the thermostat on the front for what you want the room temperature to be (got it at 70).

 it works, JUST FINE...

 hopefully, before Christmas it will bes getting a new top and a makeover. 
thank you to the guy who failed to read directions and threw out the good stuff.. hehe
