A Bouncing Baby Hotpoint!

We received some refreshing news in the neighborhood yesterday. A young couple of our acquaintance decided to upgrade their stove and went with one of the more tasteful ranges you can find: The Hotpoint Hallmark.



The Hallmark is similar to my beloved Frigidaire Flair, except it’s a bit taller, has a rotisserie, and has a built-in exhaust fan. What it doesn’t have is the drawer to hide the burners, but we can’t have everything, can we?

This replaced an early 70’s Frigidaire Custom Deluxe that, while appropriate for the vast majority of people, definitely lacked some pizzazz.

It was a natural selection for Midge, who comes from the exclusive enclave of “Holiday Hills” outside of Olympia, Washington, and a definite step-up for her “other half” who comes from the hometown of the State Agricultural University in Iowa.

Once the install was completed, the happy family gathered around: Man, wife, toddler and baby to “Ooo” and “Ahh” over the new addition to their kitchen. Midge, of course, just couldn’t wait to whip up a batch of her famous Sugar Snaps.

It does a heart good to see a wholesome Christian family engaging in some tasteful family fun. And Lest we forget, Hotpoint is the company that featured Mary Tyler Moore as their dancing "Hotpoint Hottie" back in the early days of her career - a true mark of corporate pedigree.
