It's not an illusion, this is the way it goes, the water was
so clear, it was so beautiful, the picture doesn't do the
red justice.
Nothing like country roads
The only thing better than a beautiful fall
day in New England is having seven boys
here to enjoy it. I'll have to settle for
half of the equation.
Looking up into the ceiling at one of several spots, the board exposed is the
living room, it had gone through all the flooring, again
a blessing it didn't break through to the carpet.
This is outside the basement door, this
doorway was as black as it is in the
picture, but with smoke, so that I couldn't
see Jeff when he was inside keeping water on it.
Some of our helpers, Jim Pasternak, Rob Puida.
They helped start the painting process.
Looks different white.
Ben Jacobs spent a day painting, what a day to spend
a beautiful Saturday... thanks to all the great helpers.
Seems so much better now, we are so grateful.
thats what Jeff yelled at 11:35 am Sunday morning. The rest of the day is a blur of smoke, fear, firemen, firetrucks, neighbors, friends, and craziness all mixed together. As the dust(smoke)settled so did a sense of gratitude. We are very grateful to be here and to have a home still standing. Another 5 minutes and that may not have been the case. We were very blessed and the angels that Elder Holland was talking about were truly with us on Sunday. A big thank you goes out to all those who have helped and continue to help, love, labor, cooking, washing, talking, typing, money, gift certificates, all have been so generous. We are truly thankful. We are so blessed. There is still much to be done, in the house downstairs and upstairs, but we lost nothing of value, we are very lucky. stay safe .....
