We heard last night that the fires were moving in our direction. Colin went down the hill and spoke with the firefighters/sheriff's who were blocking the road to the canyon. We could actually see the fires from our home. Scary!
Colin in his "want to be a firefighter mode" decided it was best to be prepared, just in case. He made lists for each of us to be responsible for, in case of evacuation.
Having only one good arm, I was responsible for my purse, and my laptop.
Colin was in charge of the dogs, bird, firebox of documents, photos, video's, surfboards, snowboard, his laptop, and some clothes.
Mairin was assigned her laptop, and Jackie Chan-- the Siamese Fighting Fish, in a glass bowl, no less.
Colin explained Mairin's short list, with the typical older brother explanation, that she would be so riled up, that she wouldn't be of much use.
Although today was a little anxious, I was still able to take my nap!
School is cancelled for tomorrow.
I am thankful that our home is OK, as is our neighborhood. Thank you for all of the calls and emails, I think everyone now knows where Trabuco Canyon is!
Thanks for checking in on us,
Nancy
PS, for those of you following Sonny's football season, they won against Princeton last weekend. He played great and really enjoyed being back on the field, after 3 weeks off. The bad news is that he now has a sports hernia, and will require surgery after the season. He is still planning to play through the remainder of the season.
