My daughter's in-laws are right in the path of it all. They haven't evacuated yet...not sure they will have to, but they've e-mailed us with updates on what's happening. It's hard to watch the newscasts to see so many losing their homes....and life as they knew it. As I've e-mailed to these family members...nothing is more Joy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-39359307460498986442007-10-25T00:58:00.000-07:002007-10-25T00:58:00.000-07:00Joarad, I am familiar with some of the places you ...Joarad, I am familiar with some of the places you mentiuoned, but not others...These fires make one feel it is the end of the world, in a way...But then, much of what is happening now makes me feel that....The smoke was here, too, especially from the Malibu fire...I have not stirred out of the house except to take the garbage out....The air is acrid and that tan haze...<BR/>I hope that all those OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-51819961243674603872007-10-24T22:01:00.000-07:002007-10-24T22:01:00.000-07:00(My deleted comment above is re-posted below as I ...(My deleted comment above is re-posted below as I corrected a spelling error -- hardly my first error and will not be my last -- so probably not worth the effort.):-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all for sending your good wishes on the first anniversary of my blog.<BR/><BR/>Kenju: Hope you avoid any fires where you are.

We rebuilt in about 6 months. That was an ordeal I cannot imagine what these many Californians are going through.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on your Chancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888087428059834691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-45241949626089011142007-10-24T13:07:00.000-07:002007-10-24T13:07:00.000-07:00Hugs for your first year of blogging!

Our drought makes us prime candidates for fires like yours, although the rain we have had in the last 2 days has alleviated the fire danger at least a little bit. Congratulations on your anniversary - even if it is overshadowed. We all hope that the fires will be out soon.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.com
