Hi Joanne
The fires were at their worst on Saturday and Sunday. The ash on the ground is horrible but what can you do. Our office was never in danger thank goodness and all seems to be well for now. However, I have noticed that many people are coughing and sounding a bit hoarse so I think it has gotten to all of them. I, myself, am either coming down with Bronchitis or the ash has gotten to me. My oldest DD (she has asthma) seems to be doing ok but she was smart enough to stay indoors all weekend.
Thank you to all that sent a prayer out our way - it was really needed.
Got to go and pick up DD at her soccer practice. It was cancelled yesterday due to the air quality but I guess it wasn't today so things are much better. Had an acquaintance that had some minor damage to her house but she is counting herself lucky as she lives with her elderly parents. Not too much more cosmetic which is something that she can live with.
OK folks, take care,
Cpt Jack - hows the weather up there? DH, the girls and I are considering taking a small run up there this weekend. I've been bitten by the antsy bug and DH wants to enter some poker tournaments as he's been on a bit of a run lately. My bank account is a bit heftier now so its burning a hole in my pocket. Time to go shopping
Pam, you got to set aside some time for Williamsburg! you won't be sorry! I wish I could live there.
OMG! Got to fly - the JR royal highness will be left waiting out in the cold - per say as it has been hot the last couple of days. Today was only 87 compared to yesterday's 92 but since its winter - it doesn't feel like a 92 degree summer day. Still, I'm sitting here in a sleeveless shirt and capri pants. Doesn't Mother Nature know that its almost winter? I want some cold.
