I am doing this for Blogboy's contest!!!

Well this isn't very funny!! but it was an adventure.

One day, about a year ago, my Mom was working around the house cleaning.  My  Dad was on the phone with a new boss.  I was working on my school work.  As my Mom was going about her work she smelled a funny, smoky smell.  Then she noticed smoke billowing up through the vents.  She ran and told my Dad, "I think there's a fire".  My Brother Tyler ran outside on a freezing day barefoot and in shorts, and hooked up the hose. 

My Dad ( getting nervous) said to his boss, "Um! I think I need to go now, my house is on fire".  So he and my Mom ran out and the furnace room that was connected to our house was on fire.  Some coals had dropped out of the stove pipe and on to the insulation catching it on fire.

Tyler ( My brother) turned on the water and they got the fire put out.  No permanent damage was done, and my Dad fixed it so it could never happen again.

I wonder what my dad's boss thought at first about his new employee but I think he got over it!

That was just one of many exciting days here on the farm. 

Your friend in Christ,
