Good thing

With the stove.

And went across the street

And wound up calling the police.

With help from Morgan
As his family came down
And stayed all afternoon.
Lou brought my metal detector back
In the evening
But he said he did not
Find the ring. John came down
In the evening
And we traded cars
While he does some work
On mine. Darb & Shirley were in
For a few hours also.
Right after they left
A cardboard box in basement
Caught fire.
Good thing I smelled it.
