We are now officially back home after having been under forced
evacuation since October 22, due to a particularly nasty forest fire
which was encouraged by high winds. Our home was spared but 105
buildings (out of 7 or 800 total) in our village were not. Green Valley
Lake with a population of about 300 made the national news. Never a
good way to gain notoriety.

It was gratifying that few of our friends lost homes and there were
offers of help for those who did. One particularly sad note was the
loss of our town hardware/lumber store. We will work together to put
the town back together starting with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting
dinner and fund raiser. And the Old Farts Club will meet on Monday at 7
am at the Lake Inn to drink coffee, tell lies, and figure out who may
need help.


Glad to hear you are all OK. Sorry to hear about the damage to for those
who did lose home.
