Came home from shopping and dinne with the wife and the youngest tonight and stoked up the stove. Gotit rolling while I went thru the board. It's all Set and burning between 500-550 surface temp right now. Putting out great heat. I went upstairs to check on my little one and he's all tucked in to bed with his teddy bear snuggled under his head. A mid weight cotton comforter is all he needs because of the heat from the stove. My wife is snoozing away under a down comforter and the dogs are cozied up on their bed. The temp in the room with the stove is 80. It's 38 degrees outside right now and tonight we had our first snow of the season. It didnt' stick, but the whole feeling here is a warm safe comfortable home. Tomorrow night when we get home from Grandma's house, I'll pop "The Polar Express" into the dvd player we'll all sit back on the couch and watch it together with the wood stove burning away. It's such a simple thing but it makes me feel like I have everything.
