A snowy night and a wood burning stove.....
 I was disappointed that my new house did not have a fireplace my husband knowing my disappointment  bought a beautiful large wood burning stove with brass and glass doors lugged it home and into the basement which was just that a basement waiting to be finished into a family room. all of this while I was at work.
 Later that evening when I came home ,cold and tired , I could smell something burning as I came up the driveway OH! MY GOD!! was my house on fire!!! My husband met me in the garage and after assureing me the house was not on fire led me into the warm basement.There in the basement was 2 lawn chairs,with an upsidedown milk crate as a table between , and a tray with 2 glasses of wine. The scene may have been spartan but I felt like a queen sitting in the glow of the fire from my new wood burning stove and I still do.
