Flames, Firemen & Forty-Five!


Aidan in his Firemen's Hat!

Well, a few weeks ago I turned 45 and it was a weekend full of celebrating with friends & family - I was truly blessed.  The Annual "Lisa's Birthday BBQ" brought in quite a crowd, including a visit from our local fire dept. (yes, they were all hot - the myth is true).  The flames too much to handle on my cake?  Nope.

My dear boy, Aidan, who has Autism thought there was too much smoke from the grilling and called 911.  
He was congratulated on knowing the safety rules, but got in trouble for not knowing the difference between smoke and fire!  Oh, one of those moments!  So he wrote a letter of apology - and I delivered.  

The fire Chief and staff were touched and happily gave him and his little brother a private tour and we hope now Aidan will know the difference.  Another adventure in motherhood & Autism - but the neighbours are still talking about the firefighters!
peace & love all, Vagi
