Good morning from Life in the Foothills! I will be posting as I can as we have been evacuated from our home due to the King Fire burning here in the Sierra Foothills.
The fire is almost 90,000 acres and is 17% contained as of this writing. The fire was intentionally set and they have arrested a man in connection with this fire. The rumor mill is giving us some very creative stories about why this person started this fire.
We were given a short window of time to go back to our house to gather what we could. The amount of time: 10 minutes. We were escorted in by the Sheriff. We, our 3 cats and the pooch are all OK.
We are hoping that we will be able to return home soon.
Be well and take care! Please be fire safe too!
Praying for all of you… Gods speed in your journey back home
Thank you Jolynn! We are hoping that we can return this weekend…
I was wondering about you. Be safe. I hope all turns out well for your home but I am glad you have evacuated. 🙂
Thank you Ginger! The fire team did a back burn in our are and hopefully this will allow us to return home soon!
I hope that everyone is able to return home soon.
Thank you Imelda!
Stay safe. I hope the fires stay in control.
The fire is now over 92K acres. It is bigger in area than Lake Tahoe! On our trip we met an amazing number of folks from Melbourne!
That must be an awful experience. So glad you and your animals are safe!
Have had some days with tears. At least we are all safe. Hopefully will be able to go home this weekend!
I hope so. Feel so bad for you!
We just got the news that we can go home in the morning! WAHOO! 🙂
Great news!!
Great new coming!
Thoughts are with you, your family, critters, and neighbors. Also, hopeful thoughts go out to all the fire-fighters out there helping with this monumental task. May all return to normal very very soon.
Thank you PJ!
Yikes! Best wishes for a speedy return!
Thank you Kathy!
Glad the fire is moving away from your home and hope you can return to it very soon!
They did a back burn to help combat this fire. Rain is coming and hopefully we will get enough that it will help our fire responders!
prayers for containment and an end to the consuming destruction –as well as for the sparing of your home—Julie
Thank you Julie! A bit of rain on the way and maybe we can go home this weekend. Today is day 12 of this fire.
Oh shit.
We have to talk…have an idea of a summer job that pays well and involves driving. Your humor would be perfect!
I am so glad to know you were able to get things from your home. I could not remember when you would be coming home. Please call me when and if you can. Love ya.
Love you too Patti and thanks for the offer of a place to stay. Still sick… 😦 Maybe we will get to go home this weekend!
Stay safe, Babs. This is terrible. (((HUGS))) Amy

Oh no! How horrible. Sending you brave positive energy and hoping it will all turn out well. Big hugs.
Thank you for the brave positive energy! Hoping it works and gets us home this weekend!
