This happened a few months ago, but I just got the pics. My poor mom...I have a hard time seeing her watching all her stuff go up in flames. She had good insurance and another place in Chicago, so she didn't lose everything, but all my deceased sister's art work was in there and items that had so much emotional value...their two dogs, Sam and Lexie never came out. It seems that, when it comes down to it, if you want to remain sane, you just have to say, C'est la vie. You really don't own anything on this planet. She got burned on the forehead and legs...she attempted to put out the fire herself before the fire dept. came.
Turns out that 50 year old wiring had shorted out in the back wall. It smouldered for up to a week. When it got oxygen, it literally exploded.
My mom is the one in the white shirt.
That's Grand Targhee Ski Resort in the background of the first pic. She is rebuilding, but not in the same location. The previous house burned down too...no point in pushing our luck.
Take care,
Beep
