Today I'm thankful for smoke alarms. I know. This is kinda an odd thing to be thankful for, especially in this "time of thanksgiving", but really sometimes we overlook the small things. Anyway, here's the inspiration for this item that I'm thankful for. Mom and Dad went to Gatlinburg this weekend. To make a long story short (plus it's really funny when you hear it from Mom or Dad over the phone), the inn keeper tried to start a fire with logs and newspaper...in a gas fireplace. LOL. Anyway, as expected, that didn't turn out so well and a log broke the glass door of the fireplace and smoke went everywhere. Thankfully, a big fire didn't start in Mom and Dad's room and that the smoke detectors alerted everyone in the building.
Yes, smoke alarms are annoying sometimes and everyone loves fire drills (::sarcasm::), but I am thankful for them because they are really useful!
