Sitting by the fire...


A real fire, in our real fireplace - wow. I have been sick, like really under the weather, fevers for days, coughing like a mad woman, fighting to breathe sick since last Friday. Jacob came down with it Monday at school. Somehow my wonderful husband and cutie patootie daughter thought of a brilliant surprise for us ailing at home. On their way home from school on Tuesday Brian and Reba picked up some firewood from the store. After dinner we all sat on our lovely couches and enjoyed the glow of a real fire in our real fireplace - our first fire in our first house. Either the fever was making me delirious or it was truly a magical moment.


Incidentally this was a couple of days ago and we are both on the mend now. I am still fighting for air but the inhaler and nebulizer treatments seem to be working. The junk you can pick up in the ER...

I am SO jealous.....of the fire, not the illness. Any day now, I will get to enjoy a real fire up here in northern CA. Any day now...soon, I can feel it. We've got firewood, that's a start.
