More FIRE pics and thoughts



Yes that crazy orange glow that looks like a nice sunrise is fire! The smoke pic is from the backyard and the fire on the ridge was from San Antonio (before the monster raced down to burn many houses).  

Things we learned from the Fire:
1.  Things are just things, but we are so glad we still have our things.... even though they have lost a lot of importance!
2.  Emergency Preparation is something to pay attention to.
3.  We need to organize our pictures! 
4.  Check out your insurance policy and make sure you have good coverage (learned this all week working at State Farm Ins in YL)
If you are a renter, GET RENTERS INSURANCE!)
5.  If you have time when evacuating don't forget a change of clothes ( I slept in my smelly, smoky clothes Sat. night! :)
6.  Family and church friends will be there when you need help.

Julie,

I just found your blog on Craig's blog! I feel so detached these days and so it was good to something from you and your thoughts about the fire. Those pix are amazing! Your Mom loves you and the rest of the Grochmals! Looking forward to T-Day and seeing Rod!
