I'm back !!!

I'm back after a lot of life changes.  December 2010 I was home with the flu and Dan had just come home from our apartment complex's Christmas party.  About 9:30 pm we heard sirens and I told Dan that they seemed to be stopping close by.  A few minutes later all heck broke loose with firemen in our hallway knocking on everyone's door saying we needed to get out that the other half of our building was on fire.  I threw on my clothes and grabbed my cat and coat and ran outside.  My cat got scared and jumped from my arms and ran back inside.  When we looked at the other end of our building we could see flames shooting 30 feet into the air.  We were told to go to the club house  to stay warm.  We watched in horror as the firemen opened the roof and the flames engulfed the whole roof.  Red Cross showed up and we went to Sarah's apartment a few blocks away.  We got a call that our cat was rescued.  The next day we were put up in a temporary apartment and then a few days later we got an apartment.  In April I had all my teeth pulled and then in August Dan got much needed hearing aids.  Last November we were able to move back to our old apartment complex to a first floor apartment.  We are just beginning to feel like we are at home again.  So that is a short version of what has been happening.  I will try to get back to blogging every week.  Mom
