The only fire we had was an old old box of wooden matches. With sparklers at the ready, Aryn takes a match, from the end of the box that had gotten wet at some time in its life and as such, the red part of the match is burnable but soft. As she scraped the match down the rough strip the red stuff came off the match, stuck to the box and caught fire!! She quickly scraped it back and forth and put it out. I showed her which end of the box to take out a match..the other end was dry and fine.
Finally she started to light everybody's sparklers….and they went nuts! They sprayed freaking hot sparks and hot metal all over the place, including on the table, on our hands, on the floor, on my chair and when I pushed back..up my shorts!!! It HURT!!! But then we were laughing so hard we weren't helping matters much. When all was said and done we have burn holes in the table and way up my personal space. It still hurts!
Today we didn't leave the house…my fave kind of day. We spent a lot of time on our devices looking up pictures for the funeral, tickets for the hockey game friday, houses in Kamloops, etc… We also did unload a few of the kitchen containers..putting things back. Kathy did a huge amount of cleaning and she reheated last night's dinner for us tonight. Delicious! We then spent the evening visiting, watching cooking competitions and visiting with Monte. Now its blog time and email answering. I will post a few pics of last nite's fiasco! TTYL
