off the subject! I read on Heathers post your husband was a firefighter? Ohhh I secretly have a thing for firefighters. My friend and I call it CODE RED when they are at the grocery store we shop at.

I got change for a twenty and drove around and around the block dropping one dollar at at time. Ahh firefighters.

Maybe it's an initiation only for the bravest of bears.
