Just last week, a mere 7 days ago, Terri had a problem with her garage door opener [https://www.parentingroundaboutpodcast.com/blog/the-joys-of-homeownership] and Catherine's basement was about to get torn up for a new drain and sump pump (thrilling). Both of those are resolved now, but that just means that our various appliances had to beg for attention. Mentioned: Cuisinart PerfecTemp electric kettle (which, for the record, can be had for much less than the price advertised) [https://www.cuisinart.com/shopping/appliances/tea_kettles/cpk-17p1/].
