  1. Not bragging or anything, but I'm into May of 2017 for my Project Life pages. :D At least I'm still working on them.

  2. Impromptu swim and dinner party with Grace's family last night, and a garden party in the garden tonight for a group of ladies from church. Add to that -Thomas lost his passport and has a ticket to Amsterdam on Monday...spendy for him to get a replacement that quickly, but he should have it on Saturday. And I thought August would be better than July. ?

      There was a glitch in the process and he didn't get his passport replaced, so they had to cancel their trip. :monstercry:

      Oh NOoooooooo... Sorry about that, oh dear.

      He did cancel the flights, so he only lost 30% of what he paid and can use the balance for a future trip.

  3. Thomas is engaged! He dropped by last night to show us the ring (and to call her father) before he asked her.

      that is so sad, that fire just kept going- as well as the other fires, it has been devastating to so many. May your relatives be able to recover and have the energy to do it. Can't believe the difference in the pictures! holy cow! That is so amazing that the firefighters saved your brother's house, bless every one of them for all their hard work!

      Dixie that was so well said!

       

  18. My family's house made it through the night! They let the water company employees in, and they said there is a firetruck in every driveway up there. :whew:Now I can stop worrying and get on with the things I need to get done today.

      The canyon I grew up in, where much of my family still lives was where they were staging their big stand to keep it from going into the more populated areas. One structure was lost, but according to the owner, it was just a place to go and enjoy the view. Not their real home and very replaceable for them. The family properties are well within the fire perimeter's burned areas, so it is now moving away from them. The hills will be charred and black and ashy when I go home for Christmas, but it will be just like when I was a kid - except there will be a house. :-)

      Thanks for the updates. You must be relieved. Let's hope the fires stay out!

  19. That fire made way too much progress overnight. It burned one home on my nephew's road this morning. The fire expanded on the back side and is quite close the my dad and brother's homes.

      I can't imagine what it's like for them (and for you) having to wait to find out how bad it might be.  Keep updating us...

      Oh this is just awful. I’m so sorry.

  20. And now my dad's house is in the voluntary evacuation zone. :huh: I'm heading there for Christmas, so I really hope there is a home to go home to.

      Oh that is encouraging and good to hear, thanks for posting.   The news videos are so scary.

      The fire is 7 miles away from my dad's. The forest service is up there now keeping a watch on things. They've lifted the mandatory evacuation for my nephew's house. My high school friend who is his neighbor said they've kept houses in that area safe. So, more good news.

      Whew, that is good to hear.  Thanks for posting, you must be breathing a bit easier, now.

  21. Praying my nephew's house doesn't burn down tonight. The Thomas fire is headed right toward them. They've evacuated, of course.
