Good Morning Groanies,
So here's the story... we had a fire, a house fire. Early Thursday morning I woke up and smelled something burning. I got Stacy up and she smelled it, too.
We searched room by room for the cause of the burning smell and when I went down to check the furnace I was meet with a thick wall of black smoke.
We called 9-1-1, grabbed the kids, and got the hell out of there! It was a scary, panic-inducing situation, but somehow we kept our cool.
All four of us made it out unscathed. I don't know if it was dumb luck or I just have a nose for trouble, but I'm grateful that everything that's important to me is safe and sound.
We're in the process of finding some temporary digs until our house's status is upgraded to "Livable". It might be a while, but not to worry. We are all in good spirits. Humor has kept us going. It's always better to laugh than to cry.
So I've got some jokes here to keep me laughing and hope they do the same for you. Be safe. Be happy. Groan a little bit.
Groaningly yours,
Steve
