Fire Damage

Just this past Christmas, my parent's house caught on fire. Apparently they had a candle burning on the piano and it set fire to a picture of Christ that they had hanging above it, and the picture fell behind the piano. Crazy thing to have happen on Christmas, huh?

They have been living in a rental home for the past month and will hopefully be able to move back in to their home on March 15th. Today was the first day I got to see these pictures. And I am so impressed with my family's attitude toward the whole thing. The way they talked about it, it was no big deal and just a great blessing to get fresh paint :) I am so glad that no one was hurt.

Wow! I couldn't help but stop and think a little when seeing those pics. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

Oh no! Was that the same piano your family has had forever, that they had in WI too?? That would be the saddest loss I think! Hopefully they didn't lose other family heirloom type items.

Oh my goodness! That is awful! How scary. It's good to hear that everyone is safe and they are taking it in stride. But that's crazy. Yikes.

That is horrible. Glad their house will be finished soon. I bet it will be nice to be back home.

Wow! How scary - but what a blessing that everyone is safe and sound.

And thanks for the info on the food storage website! I love hearing new tips and tricks on how I can do better at my food storage :)

Holy cow! That's heck of a fire! I hope everything is going well for them. I think I would have a hard time staying positive if that happened to us... I'm glad everyone was okay.
