Thanks, Patty–it was a wonderful Christmas, our last together.

Thanks, Dyanne. I think your chair idea will come in handy, since we can’t use the fire department every time we want him to visit!

Thanks, Heidi. At least your incident is related to fire! We tried to press upon our heroes a tin of yummy baked goods, but they refused to accept it. Either the rules about public agencies have become stricter, or the famous firefighter culinary talent was already keeping them unable to squeeze into their uniforms!

Thanks, Wendy!

Thanks, Susan. Facebook’s reach is far and wide, even though my in-laws continue to be mystified by it, saying, “Why wouldn’t you just pick up the phone?” Hope all is well with you.

Yes, it was a real treat. Thanks for taking the time to write, Teri.

Agreed, Jilanne. I imagine rescuing cats and providing lift assists to people in need is preferable to collapsing ceilings!
