Fires,smoke, and so on. . . . . .

It seems that the world wide weather is wacky. Since about 2 weeks ago there have been wildfires in So. Ga. around the Waycross area. The winds had blown the smoke this way for days on end. Now there are fires to the south and west of us. Smoke everywhere!
Thankfully the firefighters are working like crazy to contain the ones around the homes. They have all been caused by lightning strikes. We did get quite a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, and sweet, peaceful rain until about 8:00 AM today. Over 200,000 acres have burned in So. Ga. so not only are they having the mess, but loosing $$-timber industry. Most of the firefighters there are vol.
On a BRIGHT note, the DD and gang should be arriving at our house in about 2 hours. Yea. Their flight was not a problem. They spent last night in Daytona Beach at our little condo so the boys could get a taste of the ocean again. It might be several days before I post again.
Marion, thanks for keeping us updated. I will keep your area of the world in my thoughts and prayers.
