What a morning!

So first off- I am out of town visiting family in Belton and my dog, Winnie, who was discussed in the previous 'blog' came with me. So my grandma does not like her very much since she is roudy and big. But Winnie LOVES her huge backyard and was running around in it and I took her toy and ran with her. All of the sudden Winnie is chasing after me like a mad woman! I was running as fast as I could but I could still feel Winnie nipping at my heels trying to get her toy. I guess it didn't occur to me to just stop and give her the toy so I just kept running. My point- all the while Winnie and I are playing my sister decides it would be fun to get in Winnie's cage. Well turns out it wasn't quite as fun as she thought it would be and got stuck in it. I came in and saw her and decided to just leave her there. After about 10 minutes my grandma came inside and saw her and let her out. Then, while on the infamous Farmville, an awful sound went off. My grandma said that she was testing the fire alarm and that the company would be calling soon and she would cancel the fire department from coming. Too late. Just as soon as the company called we could hear the sirens going off on this cool, peaceful, calm morning. So everyone went outside at 11 in the morning, mind you. I was still in my pajamas and without make up on. FANTASTIC. So all the neighbors, excited by the loud sirens and alternating colors on the top of the police car, came out to see what was going on hoping to catch some gossip to spread in this small town to keep everyone alive. Well eventually the police car left followed by the ambulance then finally the fire truck. A couple of neighbors stayed to talk before returning to their mundane lives of folding clothes and getting caught up on the tv the missed while at work this week. What a fan-freaking-tastic morning this was.
