This morning was the "Valentine's" pancake breakfast put on by the firemen of Earlville who deserve extra credit this year. They spent ALL of Thursday night at a house fire in Earlville (the family got out safely but their home unfortunately burned to the ground - started from an electric boot warmer). Then the firemen were called out again last night because parts of the rubble had started to burn again. However, they were all at the fire hall serving breakfast at 6 a.m. (this is farm country remember)... with smiles on their faces (even if some of their eyes were half closed).The turn out was great - guess this COLD weather is making everyone feel "housebound" so folks are more than ready to go out for everything. "Housebound" madness seems to have reached new levels as you can see from the new hairdo on the kid in the photo. His mother (sitting across from him) proudly told me it's easy to do with a combo of hairspray and Elmer's glue and that it washes out easily. The snowmobilers were speculating how you could make a helmet fit...
