Oh Bannanny, be safe. I know what you're going through, I use to live in the valley below where you are now, and someone every summer lights fires and thousands of acres burn. Take care, and I hope all is okay

You guys are greeeeat! They got it out too! Ya know, sometimes a fire can look so much closer to you than it really is. I myself didn't think it would get us, but mom was here and she tends to panic alot more than I do. Course, she has good reason to. The last time we had a fire, I told her we would be fine. I drove a mile up the canyon and asked the firemen how we were lookin and they said we'd be ok. I drove back to the house and went up the dirt road behind the house to make sure the gate was open where Munz locks up his cattle sometimes. Fortunately, they weren't in there, but I opened the gate anyway cuz you couldn't see a dam thing thru the smoke. I got back to the house, went to the bathroom and by the time I came outta there and went into the kitchen, I saw nothin but flames right behind the house. It was scary to say the least! Mom wanted to drive her car and follow me down the driveway. So I got her into hers and my dogs (I still had them at the time) into my car and told her to stay right behind me as we started down the only driveway we could use. It was the only way out, yet flames were on both sides of it too. I went down flyin thru the air and stopped. Mom wasn't behind me anywhere. I jumped outta my car and tried to run up the driveway but the flames were covering it by then. About that time, the firemen showed up and I was sobbing and screaming at them to go get my mom. They actually had to pull me back cuz I was still trying to get up the driveway. You couldn't see anything at all thru the thick smoke. They circled up the other driveway and God bless them, they came back down with my momma in tow. I've never been so thankful and so grateful in my entire life! We didn't lose the house... but they told us if we hadn't had the brush control done just one week prior to the fire, we would've burned to the ground. They said we were a fireman's dream! But fires can travel so fast, plus the wind is blowing a good 65 mph today too. We'd learned that lesson already, so we didn't take anything for granted today. But we're safe... thanks for your prayers you guys. I really appreciate you alot. Here's a pic that was taken the day after that last fire I just told you about that I was certain wouldn't come close to us... That was before the place was surrounded by Pine, Elm and Pepper trees too. We have about 70 trees up here now... that wouldn't have helped any at all today if they hadn't gotten it out! So another day ends good... big hugs ~~ bannanny
