Another fire


This is the police car that Chris and I followed from Big Falls..we had been up to Marion to take the camper up there..we had it unhooked and were putting a blanket down when we got the call from Alicia..cell phone reception is not great up there...all Chris could understand was "come home now..Mason..candle"and very upset voice. We made that trip in short order!!!!
 


This is looking down the stairs to my house..
 


In the area where the fire began...this is my piano...the page of music laying on the keyboard part is the hymn "In Jesus Hands"
 
 


My desk ..... when Emily and Erin came to see the damage they looked around the corner from
the steps and said "Yes we are still there!!''


See how black the mirrors are....I did clean a little better than that!!


This is a quilt that Mom made many years ago..it is the state flowers
and Alaska and Hawaii are not on it.
The  quilt rack was made by Grandpa Krisher out of oak from the Dorchester farm.


See the soot in the bathroom...in the far corner of the house.


A picture of the black on the drywall....


My patio...


The boarded and tarped windows on the back of the house..


A rose and the yellow line....



Shooter and his master....Chris trying to get emotions under control...

 
Last Monday 9-17-12 we had the misfortune to have a fire at our home...the main part of Chris and Alicia's home has a lot of damage....my part of the house has smoke and water damage and I am tole that anything not glass or metal is iffy in being able to be salvaged. Tomorrow we will be starting to go through the house to make and inventory and to clean things out of the way so that the builders can better assesse the damage.

The last of the week was much better...I spent four days at Marion convention!

But I am SOOOOO glad that lives were not touched (physically) as "things" are just that. Lives are so much more precious.
Love you!
