The New River.

I blew up the toaster oven making breakfast this weekend. Flames! It was exciting! I stood there and thought, hmmm. Should I call my cousin next door and tell him I am about to burn the farmhouse down? Or wait? I stood there. Waited. (I hated to bother him.) The flames went out. Whew. :mrgreen:

I brought my daughter her breakfast and she said, can I have another piece of toast? I said, um, I don’t think so…..

My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
