Back home---thanks for all the positive thoughts

We just got home with our six cats and our dog. The fire isn't completely out, but it's contained enough that we are out of danger. Let's hope this is the only one this year. It was started by some stupid person and an illegal campfire. I can't even begin to tell you how many times we have come across smoldering, abandoned, illegal campfires when we've been hiking or riding the horses. I don't even want to begin to talk about all the trash left everywhere. It's gotten really bad in the last few years.
Anyway, obviously, my plans to mail off the flyers and such were squashed when I was evacuating, so I will be mailing them off after the 4th of July holiday. I'm not leaving my house again until the holiday is over. I hope everyone understands. Take care everybody. Have a nice holiday!!!

It is quite disturbing how so many people do not think about the consequences of their actions. Feeling you here, did the fire routine for a month when I was living in rural Texas, very freaky.
The smell is enough to cause a shiver, bless you. Hope your 4th is chillin!

I hope you can get back to normal after such a harrowing experience. I can imagine how frustrating it must be to see things you love be treated with such thoughtlessness by others.

Good luck and happy 4th!
