Look very carefully at the picture above of Barbara's dream chair which is completely surrounded by burned grass. At an earlier time, she would sit in this chair and dream about how their house would look in the countryside. Finally she and Jim moved in with their Great Danes, who had a place to play in the fenced back yard. One day when Barbara and Jim were gone, a forest fire with a forty mile per hour wind consumed 17 houses. A scout from the fire department came to their property. He could only stay for a few moments. He noticed that their back door was open. He closed it and left. The fire came right up to the edge of their house. If the dogs had gone out the open door, they probably would have kept going because the fire had burned up the back fence. In just a few moments it could have been no more house and no more dogs. Some would believe that there was someone or something sitting in the chair directing this scene from the movie of life.
