Fortunately no one was injured, a lot of smoke damage to house though, mum had the presence of mind to shut the kitchen door behind her as they fled and they managed to close the kitchen windows, from the outside (they lived in the middle of no-where) and contained the fire to the kitchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-641401136674186262011-08-01T01:33:07.111+01:002011-08-01T01:33:07.111+01:00Aaaah!

"In no time at all the fire was glowing the room warmed up"<br />wahahahahahahahahahaaaa<br />Hello........... I think it is still July ?<br />I must admit it did get down to a chill 99 degrees from the 104 degrees just a few days ago in Tucson but lighting a fire ? So beyond my frame of reference.<br />We don't even turn on our ovens until late fall and iced coffee is a must !<br /><br />All joking aside I am happy that all is well and all you need is a new thermostat.<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-43604186789292564032011-07-29T18:41:28.466+01:002011-07-29T18:41:28.466+01:00could have been worse!
