This is our son, Aaron, and our grandson, Levi.
We moved into our first Fresno home when Aaron was two weeks old. I painted his room sky blue, stencilled clouds on the walls, and made roman shades for the windows that had rainbows appliqued on them.
When he got older and wanted more say about his surroundings, we painted his room royal blue--pretty the much the color of the t-shirt he is wearing in the picture. White trim, red mini blinds. It was a great room.
Two weeks before he finished fifth grade we moved to a larger home. But the economy was in a slump, the house didn't sell, so we painted all the walls white and became landlords.
As of yesterday, this is what his old room looks like.
BUMMER: Electrical wiring from the 1940s.
BLESSING: No one injured and good insurance coverage.
BONUS:

Holy Smokes!
Anonymous' comment made me laugh. Rawr.
And, really? Little Levi? So ridiculously cute. Like, so cute I want to pinch his little cheeks on my computer.
Oh, that sucks.
I hope it isn't too much of a hassle going forward.
I know you went to the scene - hope you didn't inhale too much smoke!
awww bummer for the bummer....
glad you see the silver lining aka bonus though :)
Haha always looking on the bright side - bonus! Sorry about the incident. Old home wiring is always scary. We had a electrician come out recently 'cause our garage lights weren't working. Turns out that the whole garage was wired incorrectly (from previous owners) and the whole thing could've gone up in flames... Glad no one was hurt.
Oh my goodness! I'm glad everyone is OK and happy that you had good insurance.
Jennifer :)
PS The firemen are an added bonus LOL ;)
Bahaha bonuses are showin up everywhere...at the sale....at your rental....where next?!
re jhrme's comment: hopefully in my lap...
re levi is such a cutie: end of thought
re this post: the bonus is smokin' (yes, i feel clever)
Re: Jhrme
Nice!
Re: Val Pal
Mine too!
Re: Cindy, I think that the fire department only hires bonuses because then people feel like if this bad thing (fire) had to happen to them, at least there is a bonus involved!
