There by the Grace of God

Our New Year got off to an explosive start...literally. The house next to the one across the street caught fire and burned. We thought it was some wayward fireworks but apparently it was arson.

Here's the view from our driveway
Giant hole in the roof. Luckily no one was home at the time.

In case it's not obvious, this is what the roof is supposed to look like.
The moral of this post is to check your smoke detector or put it back on like we did.
