I may have been a little harsh when pointing out the obvious when it comes to my new appliance, the “Hot Water Dispenser.”

 
The reality is, I haven’t even turned on the machine and it might be a game changer when it comes to the way I prepare tea and clean any exposed counter space from now on.

 
I was too quick to judge and I apologize, Hot Water Dispenser.

 
My husband feared people might get the wrong impression, that I feared things that required electricity or boasted about doing things quickly.

 
Last night at our family dinner/gift exchange, Greg was on the receiving end of a gift he was hoping he would find under the tree this year.

 
Imagine his surprise when he opened a box with an appliance that is so much more useful than the Hot Water Dispenser (taking up even more counter space) that will revolutionize the way he drinks pop (twice annually).
