Fire

I know it's not that big of a deal to most, but we have waited many long years to finally have a fireplace that works. Today has been pretty chilly and when the kids came home wearing shorts and t-shirts like they're from the Bahamas, and complaining of freezing, go figure, I decided to fire up the fireplace. After turning on the gas and not finding the ignition spot as quickly as I would have liked, we got it going with a thunderous roar and are really enjoying it. Now we'll have to see how much this little adventure is going to cost!

That's a cool picture - oh well, it was worth it, right?

Susan, you will continue to enjoy the fireplace. Great photo with your children! Waiting for years for something worthwhile is called "Delayed Gratification"! Another example is your wonderful trip to Chicago. Enjoyed those pictures so much as well. I can't believe that your mom and Elisa would laugh at the thought of you being trapped between two train cars?1?! Marilee
