Last weekend was a long one and a good one. How do I know this? Because it was a three campfire weekend. The wife and I were at the home improvement store and were admiring the new fire pits. About six years ago I bought a standing fire pit at a garage sale. Over the years I’ve come to the conclusion that it was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The hours we’ve spent on the patio around a fire roasting marshmallows, telling stories, laughing and simply relaxing have been priceless. There is something almost other worldly about a fire. It produces light, heat, interest, distraction and a little danger. Like our relationships it is constantly changing and needs attention and tending.
