WE MISS DADDY!!! Tomorrow will be day 9 of Eric being gone minus 1 1/2 days where he got to come home. The 1/2 was to sleep and the full day was to play with us. Luckily Aunty Stephy bought him this new train station table that is highly entertaining! :) And today, Papa and Tata arrived to rescue me from my lonliness! YIPPEE!!

As for the fires, they have mellowed. We've had some cool temperatures which have helped. However tomorrow the valley is supposed to get up to the 100's so who knows!
