Welcome to my Christmas!

Xmas this year started off well, Grace and I slept in until 10am, than opened up gifts. We went for dim sum with the family before I headed off to work. The day was filled with various medical, vehicle accidents, false alarms, THAN “THE” call came in at around 6pm…..from the LURGS! I answered the call in my typical fashion, “Toronto Fire…….” and I hear “Jeff?”. I was like uhhh, yeah what’s up? Is your parent’s house on fire? She proceeded to tell me that Grace smelled some burning in the dryer and also saw a flame. Grace lost her cellphone, so there was no way of me getting direct contact with her since we don’t have a landline either, so I had to converse with Amy. I set up the call, and got the trucks rolling to 85 Woodville Ave. I wasn’t worried that the house would get burnt down or that Grace wouldn’t get out although my heart WAS racing alittle. In the end, 3 trucks pulled up, plus 1 police cruiser, and everything was taken care of. There may or may not have been an actual “working”  fire, the ff’s said that it may have been paper burning. Whew! Would have been funny if I showed up to my own house on the trucks! lol. So there you have it, that was our eventful Christmas!

    No problem Beka! We’re here to entertain! What a wild and interesting Christmas huh? Grace was sitting outside in the car waiting for the fire trucks to come and the first one drove right by her! lol…..so she made sure she was standing and waving when the next truck came….
