Nephew Burns Downs Fence Morning After

By -
Our dear nephew Dave, did a turkey oops.
He smoked the turkey for us and it was wonderful.
The next morning, their neighbors ran over to tell them their fence was on fire. 
We all got a good chuckle……
Note to turkey smokers…. 
they stay hot!

Oh - glad to hear that nobody was hurt and the fence can be fixable. Hubby made a similar oops one year having the BBQ to close to the vinyl siding on the house. Yea - not a good combo - thankfully he only warped and discolored the siding.

So glad Dave's neighbors noticed what was happening in time to prevent further damage, and that before that you were able to enjoy some yummy smoked turkey, Kathy :)

Oh lordy ....reminds me of the All State Insurance commercial.

Thankfully, your nephew did not succeed in burning down his house (only the fence). YIKES!

P.S. Hope the turkey was good at least.

Oh my gosh! That is too funny - good thing it was the fence and not the porch or the house!

That's terrible!! I'm so glad everyone is okay. That makes this a Thanksgiving to remember! Smoking meat is a BIG thing in Texas. It's a wonder there aren't more fires caused by them than I've heard about.

Oh no! So did they call the fire department or just your husband? :)

You'll get years of jokes out of this one.

Good golly! Son in Law did our turkey that way and Daughter was very dismayed to see that he had set the contraption up on their porch. Wait until I show her this! Wow....

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
