Another Day and A Finish

We are still on evacuation alert, but I don’t have any updated maps. The smoke is still too thick for them to get good photos to map it out. It was another day of watching helicopters and timing their runs, taking photos of these amazing pilots. Their job is hindered by the people rafting andContinueContinue reading “Another Day and A Finish”

Friday Spent Playing with Fabric

First of all to all my online friends that have commented or emailed, I’m still at home under an Evacuation Alert. Words can not express how much your well wishes and prayers mean to me.

They were going to evacuation sheltersContinueContinue reading “Quilts for Wildfire Victims”
