Sirens

We were visiting my family this past weekend in the town I grew up in. It's a town of about 5000 people. We had a great time visiting family. My grandma is doing just fine after her knee surgery. She went home yesterday and my aunt & uncle & cousins from Texas are staying the week at her house. My aunt is a nurse so she'll take good care of grandma. Thank you for your prayers!

My mom emailed me last night saying that around 6 pm last night there was a big fire at a store in town. She sent pictures. It looked terrible. If the wind had been the other direction, I think a lot of other stores could have been damaged or totally lost. The wind was blowing toward the street that runs next to the store that was on fire. Here's a big hooray for firemen! They have such an important and dangerous job. Just look at all the smoke in this picture.


How in the world can you see in the middle of the smoke? Not to mention being able to breathe! Thank you to all firemen across the country!!!
