Fiorella's Fireplace

Fio and Husband have central heating and don't really need a roaring fire in the fireplace. In fact, they don't even need a fireplace, but fireplaces are ingrained in her. She spent the first seven years of her life in a house with a one in the front room, although it wasn't used much because there was some sort of giant boiler in the basement. Her next house, the one her parents bought when theey moved to Texas, was bereft of a fireplace, as were the first couple of houses Fio lived in as a married woman, but she hit the jackpot with the house she and Husband moved to after the children came along.  Now that Fio and Husband have moved to the boondocks, they have not just one fireplace, but two. The one in the front room is gas-powered, but the one in the den, the family room, is powered with logs harvested from their own land. Guess which fireplace Fio prefers.
