House On Fire

So, my stepdad burned down the kitchen at my parents' house yesterday. Everything is ruined. They are going to have to re-do the room, buy new plates, silverware, all that kind of stuff and also buy new furniture and mattresses and do some re-upholstering for the rest of the house because the smell doesn't leave fabric. Even their clothes will probably have to get sorted through and seen what can be salvaged. Luckily my Mom and my Grandpa were up in Georgia, so they weren't there to watch it happen. But now they are going to have to go back to Florida sooner than expected, which is too bad because my Mom was planning to take my Grandpa to the new WWII Memorial in Washington, DC next month. AND they aren't going to be able to live in the house for about 6 months, so now they have to find a rental home. I'm still planning to be down there in August for about a week, but now it looks like I will definitely be staying at my Dad's house in Boynton Beach while I am there.

Hopefully, in the future Louie will not start cooking with grease and then walk away and forget about it!

OH MY GOD!!!!! I feel so bad for your mom. At least the whole house didn't go up in flames!

That sucks, I'm sorry to hear it. But I am glad everyone is safe.
