All's Quiet


Gma and Gpa are safely back at home as of yesterday. Their neighborhood is ok, but there is quite a bit of soot and ash around. Did I mention that on the day they were evacuated, they had burning embers on their deck? Nice. We will continue to keep tabs on them, but things are good for right now.

Sunday night, we had a great time with our friends Vincent and Tyla, and their daughters Maggie and Molly (alas, their restaurant Roux is no more). One of the highlights of the evening, apart from seeing our long-lost, hardworking friends, eating fruits from the garden, and all the great food, was the rattlesnake that Maggie walked past. It was well camouflaged, but it was still less than a foot from where she had just passed.

A good time was had by all. Except the snake-- he/she was quickly relocated.
