The views were spectacular!  It was not uncommon to wake up in the morning, look out the window and see deer in the fields, or wild turkey, or any number of wild life indigenous to central Pennsylvania.  If I find some photos I will scan them and share them also.

David, very sorry to hear of your parent's loss. The good thing is they escaped unharmed, and can rebuild. Perhaps they will be able to have a nicer home than the one they lost. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Sorry to hear this. It's more heart breaking in this situation.

In rebuilding sometimes you make it even better then it was. That doorway that you never liked can be changed now?

David S,

Just glad your parents are ok. I had been through a family house fire when I was 11 years old. Nobody got hurt. Just lots of dammage done to the house. Found out 2 years ago it was from the wood shaving packing material they used in wine cases back in those days. My father had thrown it into the fireplace and it had been sucked up the chimney when it ignited. He told us this while he was on his death bed. The fire marshall had determined the cause to be electrical. I lost all my clothes in the fire. It started on the roof over my bedroom. We children had just been put to bed when a woman driving by saw the fire and stopped and came in the front door screaming that the house was on fire.

David,
Just started catching up reading posts, as I have been in China. As all the others have said, I am very sorry for your parents loss of their house.
But thank God they are ok. They will miss the personal losses, but they still have each other and their family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and them.
