Guest guest Posted June 4, 2003 Report Share Posted June 4, 2003 Gloria, Glad you're ok, I was thinking of you this morning. Keep your chin up! Deb > Hey my precious gang of cut throats, > I went to a motel last night in town. I am home now and we have no winds again. This is a rare occurance this time of year so your prayers are being heard. > The helicopters and four slurry bombers are working this morning. My husband would not leave last night so I guess we will have to change his name from to Hot Dog. lol > I have my two and a half old Granddaughter staying with us and her mother was panicing in Colorado Spring, Colorado so staying in town last night relieved her fears and mine. I think she could sense my anxiety level. > I guess without a thyroid I am not brave about fires. lol > I respect Smokey the Bear....by the way Smokey the bear was found in our forest and is buried up here. > This is the third fire this year but the others were not near as close to our ranch as this one and between the two fires it burned two homes and about 4,000 acres. This fire stole a pound from me as I weighed this morning at 102. We are taking our granddaughter to Las Cruces, New Mexico today and she will spend a few days with him and her other Papa will return her home without any singed hair from the Ranch. > Our cows are spooked and are stying down my the water tank. The fireman and water trucks went up the canyon and are going to try to get to the fire, the problem is that there are no roads to the area on fire. > I dropped off the baking I did for the firemen on my way to town. The Volunteer Fire Station is about 5 miles from our ranch. > I will keep you updated as the day progresses. We are safe as long as the wind does not change to the west. The fire is about 200 acres away, but without wind they will get in contained and I will be childless again and can relax. I forgot how much work a two year old can be. A funny thing happened last night.... > Her Daddy is a coach, when she fell down she told me she neeeded an ice pack. lol > Your skinny cut throat > Gloria > Ranch > & Gloria > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
