I'm Back!!

Well it seems I took a very long break from writing, but I wasn't really inspired to say anything. The summer was full of surprises so I concentrated on the events, not really documenting anything in particular.

The past weekend was filled with mayhew as 4 counties were set ablaze. I've lived in the OC for more than 20 years and I don't think I have been faced with perilous times as I have in the last 1 1/2 years. When I purchased this home over 4 years ago, I never thought about fires but not as I get older I think about do I want to stay in this remotely beautiful area of Orange County. It's calm most of the year, except for when a Santa Ana begins to blow and I hear my neighbor's ficus trees scrape against my bedroom window. Oops, I forgot to take down the wind chime! As I hear sirens race up the streets, I brace myself and hope not hear that awful sound waking me in the dead of night....it's time to move, now!!!

Thank you to the the higher power for keeping me, my family and my friends safe from harm's way. I'm sure I'll be calling on you again, soon!
