| Message: Wisps of smoke were curling up into the air in the garage. It was dark, and the odor was of something burning. Definitely something burning. While in Branson a few weeks ago, we stopped at the Coleman Outlet center and picked up a new two mantle gas lantern.  Tonight we decided to fill 'er up and see if it worked. The smoke and smell was from the burning of the mantles to prepare them to be used for the first time. Emmett, standing next to me in the garage asked: "Are you going to show me how it works dad?" "Yeah, I'll show you how it works- I bet you'll like it." I replied. A few minutes later and the lantern was full of fuel. We struck a match, and it lit! The garage glowed a bright yellow color from the double mantles, and Emmett clapped for more. Dad: "Should we take our tent out and go camping when its warmer?" Emmett: "Yeah, we should do that" Dad: "Should we take our sleeping bags with us" Emmett: "Yes, those too" Dad: "And what about our new lantern?" Emmett: "Umm, Yeah, we should take it with us!" |
