there was a mandatory evacuation for green valley lake yesterday... while i sat in the emergency room with my grandfather my phone rang off the hook with friends worried about my cabin (thanks so much guys!) i just had to hope for the best, my cabin was built in 1961 and there are fires every year (thats more than 45 years of fire seasons)
last night the weather helped and today the news is better, the fire is moving away from gvl, thank goodness! the last few times we were up there it was raining and i thought for sure the fire season was behind us... i think fires are the scariest thing ever. we store a lot of extra furniture (pictures and art projects too) in our cabin but i think the cabin itself is the most valuable thing, vintage coolness i love so much.
my grandpa is fine too, unfortunately they are holding him hostage one more night. he is pretty ticked off at me. i took some photos of his house today (its hard when he is there so i snuck around while he was gone) and will post those soon. it is very cool!

Doing a rain dance for you! Hope all is well with the house, and with your grandpa too!
ReplyDeleteHope everything is okay!
ReplyDeletei also grew up in a town where forest fires were the norm in Summer. Every now and then a fire gets a little too close. We have rain in the forecast and i'll gladly will that your way!
