MIRACLE:

1. A HOT FLASH!! Dan  and I were working on getting the fireplace piolet light lite.  I cleaned it out with spray oxegon.  When I lit it there was  a big burst of flames.  They escaped the fireplace and the next thing I knew it was very, very hot beneath my cotton skirt!  I lept away from the fire and yelped.  Dan thought I was on fire and would have to roll on the floor to get it out.  We were very surprised to find that despite the sensations I was only birned in one spot beneath where  my garments  were.  We both felt that my garments protected me from severe burn.  Thank you Heavenly Father.
2. Big family dinner celebrating  Dan and Spencer's birthdays.

14-15 Trisha''s big move!!
