We had a wonderful vacation! We hiked, biked, rested, played scrabble, jumped in a lake that was like 50 degrees, tromped in snow, and saw some old friends.
I want to share pictures and write more, but every night when I have the computer the electricity is off because we are very close to the "GAP" fire. I don't think we are at high risk, but we could be evacuated. We have our bags packed and ready if we need to leave. We are probably more cautious than others because we haven't gone through this before. The fire started Tuesday night and we could see it from our second floor. It is on the mountain we can see from our house. It started about 5 miles from here and now is 2 miles or so away. The highest risk of the fire going crazy happens in the evenings when a hot wind blows down the mountain towards the ocean.
That's it for now. Hope everyone has a Happy 4th of July.

Yikes! Two miles sounds awfully close to me!! Stay safe, and we will be waiting patiently for the next uncharred update.
hope you guys are safe and not evacuated. assuming not since you've written me again :) it's our local "train" system, and i didn't have enough $ to go on it, i ended up driving. but thankfully with my parking validation at the restaurant where the reunion was held, i did have enough money for my parking cost because i still had the $3.50 and it as only a buck.
i hope your house is not aflame and that is why we haven't heard from you. we had a very TINY fire at the park across the street last night, just one truck and it was out in about twenty minutes. . . i haven't heard updates on the CA fires in a week or so. hope all is well!
Kristi-I am having such fun going from blog to blog and finding all my AIM compadres! I am adding my hopes that you didn't lose your home, dear - but have no doubt about your faith and your sweet spirit remaining in tact. Wayne and I would love to hear from you and Paul sometime - wayne.crystal@sbcglobal.net
