I just went through that with the So. Cal fires. We didn't get evacuated, but it was awfully close! My heart goes out to all those people who have lost their homes. It must be very frustrating for your daughter to be so far away and hearing about it on TV. Remind her, please, that the TV news always exaggerates EVERYTHING!

I'm attempting this photo entry for the first time without my husband. I hope I do it right!
Per request...
Here is Nobi, a chihua-oxie-pin. Sometimes 1 or both of his ears tip over.
Here he is with his mommy, my daughter. Her home and new business are in danger from the fire in Santa Barbara.
Here I am, recovering from shoulder surgery, with Nobi and my wonderful Border Terrier, Sunny, who passed away in January and I miss so much.

Update.... sadly, no big change yet.
Winds are expected to start getting worse again in evening/night... called the Sundowner Wind. Last night 70mph were blowing the fires fast and furious. At least now there are more firefighters, helicopters etc. My poor daughter's home and business are still in the lockdown zone where there are police at every corner keeping people away, for their own safety (lots of foolish people in this world). If the winds grow that fast again, they could push the fire down the canyons like a chute straight into the downtown State Street with it's quaint rows of shops and restaurants. That's where her offices are. She's still stuck in Chicago, but anyway, even if she was there, she'd have to be in a motel, if there's any room, or the tent shelters provided for the evacuees.
