There Was a Fire Truck In My Kitchen Today

There was a fire truck in my kitchen today! It was about two feet long and had the loudest siren. There were two men driving the truck and my grandson set atop. He was doing all the work as he keep yelling, “VROOOOOM!” There was a fire truck in my kitchen today! All I could think of was my own son and all the times we played cars and trucks on the same floor. Then I looked up and remembered all the times he stood at the sink and splashed bubbles everywhere! The kitchen is the heart of my home and so I just sat there on the linoleum and reminisced with my coffee in my hand. There was also a Lamborghini, a Porsche, a semi-truck, and a cement mixer too! These are the days to remember. I hope I can relive this moment again next week! Gwendolen Rix 1-19-15

Who knows, might have a future firefighter in your kitchen. I remember spending time with my grandmother. Never forgot her kindness and interest. P.S. I'm a retired firefighter. Jim
