Fires and stuff

We feel like we just need to go visit our cabin every chance we get. We don't want it to forget us. Dave always seems to stay busy doing things that I can never figure out. In fact his energy for this project wears me out so I just sit and drink something cold and try to rest. I thought this picture of my Dad and Dave standing by the cabin would help give some perspectiveThe scary thing about mountain property of course is fires. On our way home on Saturday we drove through the fire in Southern Utah. It was HUGE and completely intimidating. I hope this never happens on our mountain. One thing about fires though is that it makes for beautiful sunsets and moonlight. The sun shining through the fire was as red as anything I had ever seen. It was like something from the Lord of the Rings. Sadly this week we woke up to our cars covered in ash and our pool with a film of ash on it. The kids couldn't swim until we cleaned it. This of course was from the fires in California. Our prayers go out to those people who have been harmed by this fire and especially to those fire fighters who have lost their lives and who are still working so hard to put it out. Until next time...
