P.E.O. Meeting

Bill got called out for a house fire at about 11:15 tonight so thought I'd do a blog post before heading to bed.  Even though it's very dark, I can see white smoke in town.  The page said that the residents were out of the house so that's good.  It's different living here - whenever you hear of an ambulance or fire call, you wonder who it involves since most likely you know them.

Last night we went to the Fire Dept. Christmas party.  it was at Vinny's BBQ in Dakota City.  After eating and exchange of gifts we got a tour of the new Humboldt Fire Station.  It's very nice.  The kitchen has 2 of everything:  2 dishwashers, 2 stoves, 2 French door refrigerators, 2 sinks and they have a fairly new "fancy" fire truck along with about five others and a rescue boat.     

Tues. night our P.E.O. meeting was here at our house.  I served my Aunt Linda's Red Velvet Cake, Mom's Mexican Wedding Cakes, my Aunt Vera's Glazed Pecans and a truffle with coffee, black holiday tea or hot spice tea.  The red cake was pretty for Christmas I thought.  We had 13 here for the meeting.
