• The Need For A Fire Escape

  I had a fascination with fire as a child. One of our daily chores was to burn anything Mom thought would incinerate in our large burn barrel in the back yard. Every home had one. We had a fire code back in the day that allowed trash to be burned in neighborhoods. Though the opportunity…

  With warmer weather, we buy more fruit for the kids; it sits in baskets so they can grab and go. Unless they’re weary of that produce. The fruit becomes an open invitation for fruit flies to feast. They appear out of nowhere; their sole purpose is to irritate everyone in the house. I’ve been quite…
