Looking back and feeling blessed...July 16th.

It was 4 years ago today that my old house burned.   A couple months after that "I" became "we" for me when I married my best friend.  It was 3 years ago today that "we", including Mom (Granny) moved into our new home. 

On moving day we were all about work and gettin` the job done.  It wasn't until LATE in the day when we were dragging ourselves to bed that we realized it was the anniversary date of the fire that we moved into our new home.  Pretty ironic...

OLD HOUSE:

Living room...I was sleeping on this couch when I realized the house was on fire
