We are back in our house. There is still an evacuation order for this part of town and the fires certainly continue to rage on, but it is looking like the fire has passed us by. I slept in front of the tv with an alarm to wake me every two hours so I could check for new developments. Today we will focus on getting the kids together with their friends, either indoors or somewhere with clear air. Also, I will work on cleaning up the kids’ play room and moving beds in there since it’s almost a certainty that several of our friends and co-workers have lost their houses.
