Sherri and I woke up this morning to the scent of burning grass and trees. What a terrible thing to wake up to but at least it is not our yard or trees burning. We turned the TV on to see where all the fires were and realized that they were East of here. If we don’t get rain here soon those fires may be in our backyard.
Setting there drinking our coffee and thinking about all the people out there that have lost their homes. We just could not imagine the void in those people’s lives when they saw their homes burned to the ground.
We sat there the rest of the day planning our next trip. We have to work in Louisiana next week so we will take the house with us. You know we never leave home.
After reading journals and playing a few games on line we fixed us some diner and then sat down to a little TV. It was not too long and we were ready to turn in for the night. I have to dream about cool weather in another place…

That header picture is awsome did you take it?
Glad you can take your house with you! BTW, we're planning a stop at the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Oklahoma based on your comments in a previous post... Thanks!

Stay safe ~ those fires are horrible!

I'd be scared to leave my home behind, too, with all the dry kindling just waiting to burst into flames.
Keeping an eye out here, as we are in an area of dried out pine trees, pine needles and grass. We are getting the smoke from the big Magnolia fire only about 25 miles away.
Have a safe trip, and Happy Trails, Penny, TX
