A fire today

Yes, it is August and yes, the temperature is up there, but today circumstances led us to have a fireplace fire. We have been working steam cleaning the basement, having discovered that jerky grandkids had spilled a lot of things. We have attacked yucky gunk on three different days and today was our finale. It was cool down there so we . . . yes, lit a fire. And then we turned on a fan to guide the heat through the room and up “the cement stairs” and into the garage. It smelled so good and helped everything dry.

Now, I have announced I am fining people who make a mess down there. Fine them! Fine them! I say maybe tar and feather them as well.

And outside today the sky is wonderfully blue . . . a meth lab burned down in town today – maybe I breathed in a little too deeply. Yes, wonderfully blue.

  1. You can fine grandchildren? At what age is this appropriate? Are fines against the parents possible before the age of maturity? How serious does the infraction need to be? Inquiring minds need to know.
