The Fridge

This is our fridge. My kids made most of what is on it, and a few of my husband's drawings from the nineties. I've blurred names and anything else that could identify my family.
A painting in a wooden tray: blue sky, a white wave sweeping diagonally, orange and yellow below, and a sun with a pink-red outline in the bottom-left corner.
