Well we survived the recent Santa Ana fueled Firestorm 2007. The last fire (in 2003) threatened and almost burned down our rental home in Poway. Just like last time it started on a Sunday morning in late October. This time we were evacuated on Monday morning and spent that day and the next at my cousin's house in Point Loma. Thankfully, no fire damage occured in our immediate area and we were allowed to come home. I just thank the good Lord that he listened to my prayers and those of the many family and friends out there. Live will soon return to normal for us- but sadly for some the next several weeks, months and years will be difficult. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. I understand that they have caught some arsonists in Orange County and LA. These guys are even lower than the smelliest whale dung at the bottom of the ocean. Life in prison or the death penalty is too good for them. Perhaps for this type of crime... a deliberate act and not an accident, that results in the death of others... hmmm... life is too precious to allow others to take it so maliciously. If I ruled the world then these arsonists don't have place on my planet. Burn 'em...literally.
My five thoughts for today:
1- When you have twenty minutes to pack only one car with your most important possessions- what do you chose to take? Think about it now- before it really happens.
2- Thank God for good friends and family. Thanks especially to my cousin A.W. and her son V. for taking our family in and giving us shelter when we needed it most.
3- Thank God above for watching over my family in this time of crisis.
4- I started four batches of wine the morning the fire broke out (Sunday) and am happy to say they are all happily fermenting along. We brewed up 3 gallons of Elderberry, 3 gallons of Blackberry, 3 gallons of pear and a gallon of blueberry.
5- BMO got his haircut... he went from long and shaggy to a lean and mean buzzcut. He looks much better.
