My Burning Home

My worst fear has always been my house burning down
Luckily I wasn't living in it at the time
But it's still weird to see somewhere you lived for six years burn to the ground.  A place that I became a mommy and had many good memories raising my little ones.  Well now they are only memories, not just something I can look at and remember - it's gone.

Devyn was SO sad when we got there to see this happen
 I was glad she brought along her boos bear
 The city bought the land to widen the road
They let the fire department do some fire trainings inside
Here is a 200 pound body that they rescued from inside the home
 Here is Dan's little brother Stephen
He moved into the home when we moved out
He was the man over the fire trainings
 Sawing a hole in the roof
 A meeting on burning it down
 Starting the fire in that front room (Devyn's room)

 There it goes


 Goodbye


 I'll miss that front porch
 My souvenir - the two basement windows

 Only a couple days later
(I see the kitchen sink)
It was a VERY windy and COLD day
