Fire! Fire!

Seems like we have fires everywhere.
In Colorado we get smoke from California,
Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, even Arizona.

I live close to the Rocky Mountains foothills.
We have crazy airstream paths,
which is why we get drifting smoke from
so many varied locations.

Without volunteer firemen our mountains and towns
would look majorly different.
Many people would have died,
many animals would have lost their lives,
and countless homes destroyed.
How can I not be grateful?
‘The difference between
a good life
and a bad life
is how well you walk
through the fire.’
-Carl Jung
I remember after 9/11/01
a certain British singer made the public statement
“I don’t know what the big deal is
about firefighters.”
and followed that with some inane comment
about how ‘they were just doing a job,
no big deal.’
😳
I stopped listening to her songs after that.
I simply have no respect for someone
who is so publicly...
uninformed? Uneducated?
Unable to connect with reality?
Completely unapologetic?
My money paying to further that?
Nope.
Ah, the power of the irate consumer...
Okay, okay.
I’m off my soap box for now!
“People who fight fire
with fire
usually end up with ashes.”

Campfire Cupcakes

Super easy to make/decorate!
Use a chocolate cake mix for cupcake.
Fit a pastry bag with a swirl tip.
Divide can ‘o vanilla frosting into thirds.
Color 1/3 yellow, 1/3 red & 1/3 orange.
Fill pastry bag with frostings by ‘painting’
separate colors in stripes, from tip upwards.
Squeeze out swirls on top of cooled cupcakes.

I would probably anchor it all with
some peanut butter or Nutella.
Love the cut cheese!
Well, I always gather more information
and photos that can reasonably
fit into one blog.
I will have to do another
fire fighting blog in the future.
I already have most of the media
and info needed for one!

Look closely at the center, bottom.
That’s a fire fighter.
Thank you fire fighters.
Words are not enough for the job you do.
