So when you combine buying an old house with installing a pellet stove in your living room, the math adds up to needed some new fire and smoke detectors. Did you know that October is fire prevention month? I didn't either. How convenient!
Coincidentally (or not), someone from First Alert mailed me a First Alert Fire Alarm to try out and said they would send one of my blog readers one for free too! Anyone need a updated smoke alarm?
My new friend, Shannon, will happily mail one of my readers a new First Alert Fire Alarm too. All you need to do is leave a comment below.... tell me about your favorite time around a fire. Was it a camp fire? Did you spend a night without electricity, but bundled warm by the wood stove as a kid (I did!)? Do you have a gas fireplace you switch on?
After you share your stories, I'll put your names in a hat and let my researching husband pick out a reader to win the smoke alarm! Contest is open to anyone and you can enter multiple times -with different stories- until Sunday (10/28/12) at midnight.

I've had lots of fun memories around a fire, some contained within a woodstove, some with small groups, some with large groups. One of my favorite memories however was when I was a Girl Scout. We were on a camping trip and made peach cobbler in a dutch oven... in a campfire. To this day, that has been the best peach cobbler I've ever had.
Several years ago, I was visiting my parents. My father was very ill and was resting on the sofa. I was stretched out in front of the crackling fire place. He had been confused for a few weeks but all of a sudden, he began to tell me about his entire life. He was brilliant and coherent and I wanted to record what he was saying but I was crying too hard to get up to get paper and pen. I didn't want him to see me crying. I realized that he was giving me his 'swan song.' A few weeks later, he passed away, but I treasure that hour I spent with him in front of the crackling fire place that I had always loved as a child. I treasure that I found out more about him in that one hour that I had for an entire lifetime. It was a gift from God.
