The outside of my apartment caught fire.

19. Yes, we were.

It was 4:30 in the morning. My son was awakened by the smoke alarm outside his bedroom. I had
gotten up to go to the bathroom and realized that the strange light I was seeing outside our window was fire.
Our dog came out with us. The kitties were both out--and they each came back to the house in the next two days.
The fire fighters were fantastic. They did not let it burn to the ground. We lost almost everything, but some
surprising things were salvaged, including several photo albums that the insurance adjuster discovered and showed
us how to take the photos out, spread them out, and let them dry out from the water.
