Life is Wonderful!

The sun came out today and the air started to warm - and the fire alarm in my building at work went off and we had to evacuate!  It wasn't warm enough outside for a fire drill!  Thankfully, it was a false alarm!  Phew!  The sprinkler system water pipes burst in our parking garage, making a mess down there.  But again, phew...it's been closed to us for parking because our building has been remodeled and the garage was a staging area for the construction.  And a good segue into today's card, featuring a stamp from the new Perfect Pennants set!
