All four of these good-looking Galveston firemen showed up at The Bungalow this afternoon.

Admittedly, it was a bit unsettling to see their bright red truck stop in front of The Bungalow and, then, to see the firemen exit the truck and move toward my front door. Little did I realize, all was a-okay. They were simply stopping by to install a couple of complimentary, welcome-to-the-island smoke detectors and to do so with their special brand of small-town customer service.

Of course, I invited them all in and, because they seemed curious about the place, encouraged them to look around if they were so inclined. They did, and like me, liked the brightly colored decor!

When the firemen completed the task at hand, I followed them outside. A second surprise was waiting; all my new neighbors were in their yards, watching from a safe distance. No doubt, they wondered why the truck was parked on their street and what the heck was going on!

I think they were very happy to find out that “new lady down the street” had done no harm!
