As I moved a chair, I saw something dark on the floor behind it. It was my precious painting of three angels by neighbor Shawn! Every once in a while there are unexplained noises in the house, and this was probably one of them. I have no idea when or why it fell off the wall. Thank goodness the painting and the glass looked fine! There was a small chunk of the frame beside it, which I should be able to glue in place. I carefully hung it back on the wall, hoping it won’t fly off again.

A little while later I settled into a chair opposite the angels and opened the iPad on my lap. When something moved above it, my eyes flew to the fireplace. It looked like the fire was burning. In fact, there was a real fire there! What??? I didn’t turn it on. No one else had been in the house for days. As I got up to turn it off, I realized I must have hit the large white switch below the angels. Being careful not to knock off an angel on the mantel, I must have touched it with my shoulder. At least, that was explainable!
