What started out as a normal steak grilling night, end up turning into chaos. I was able to grill some steaks for everyone, get them delivered and as I sat down to eat mine with Kabree she smelt smoke. My instant reaction was to run and check the grill, only to find the old particle board siding on fire behind the grill. Apparently there was some spark that got on the siding and when the right wind gust came through it lit it all up. I ran to get the hose connected and started spraying the water about that same time I realized that Larin had seen that same fire, grabbed his hoses and was coming to help. We were able to get it put out quickly so it didn't penetrant the house. We were all left riling after the fire and the house was full of smoke.
We were so lucky to have family close by and willing to jump in an help in a moments notice. It was so great that the girls had some where to stay that night (Larin and Jessica's), so they weren't in the smoke filled room. Also they were a little shook up and were not willing to sleep there. Jessi was at the ER with her dad, so that was a fun phone call to make. But I was so grateful that it was only to say the siding burned and everyone and most things were all ok. So grateful for the tender mercies and people supporting us.
