If so that may explain why she came through unscathed as glass does not burn - it will melt if held at high heat for a long time. You can start a campfire with pieces of glass reflected in the sun but glass does not burn. The previous old house on the farm I live at now had burned to the ground and while gardening I find pieces of glass like from jars that had exploded in the fire. If no sign of a glass frame for that pic then that is freaky! What did it say on the picture?Prairie Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184627811619354417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-39943297291038142942015-08-13T19:37:06.703-05:002015-08-13T19:37:06.703-05:00I got goosebumps reading this.
