I Have A Great Coal Burning Daughter

While I still live & work in the Lower Peninsula of MI (for about 5 more months) wife and daughter live in our house in the Upper Peninsula, where we heat with coal (sometimes wood). Drove from lower to upper tonight (now 1:35am) and walked in to the most warm, inviting house possible. Wondered if 23 y/o daughter, who lives with us, had wood or coal fire in Yukon-Eagle furnace. Opened firebox door to the most beautiful coal fire just happily glowing away. She's a chip off the old block! A born pyro like her daddy! I think she makes better coal fires that I do! Daughters who understand coal furnaces rock!! This one also tends our farm animals, kills/guts/cleans fowl, all sorts of things, when she's not being a LPN.

She's going to make someone a great wife. Does she make beer too?

Nice Dennis. I've got 2 girls that can, one that is real lacking in COAL COMMON SENSE & a boy that has one of them thar girly stoves--I'm not sure where to classify him.

I cant even get my daughter to hold the door open for me when i hausin' in 2 fresh bags she's to busy painting her nails or tapping away on that damb iphone

Very nice, a girl to be proud of. Well rounded in how to get it done.

Her husband best behave or he'll end up sausages!

Been lookin' for one like that for 30 odd years...

She makes homemade soap - really good stuff. I make beer!! We're going to make mead with the honey from the bees she's raised the past couple of years!

I still have one bottle of mead left - from 1988. Mighty good stuff - use champagne yeast
