news from jasper

This week as I was in route to help friends with some paper work a fire truck passed me. I being me meandered along wondering where it might have gone. I turned on the appropriate road, topped the hill and saw a huge cloud of smoke coming from my friends house. I zoomed up the drive and ran to help clear a fire break . The fire was burning about 2 acres of woods between 2 houses and the wind was blowing like crazy. The wind died and the pump truck finally arrived followed by a bulldozer. The houses were fine but the fire got within 20 feet of one and had to be evacuated. Rex was just one week past a chainsaw mishap and tore some stitches but is ok. It was scary how fast the fire moved and we were all very thankful no one lost their home.
Gillian and Kayla's families moved into apartments in Jasper this week. Log homes are very bad for asthma kids.
Bill is home til Dec.1. Hurray!

Geez ... exciting and almost tragic stuff always happens to you. The most exciting thing that has happened around here lately is when Lucky ate an unidentified small animal carcass when I was walking him.

The baby is just a random baby. Since I didn't have any babies of my own to put on, I just picked that one.
