Scroll down for my Pink Saturday Post.
Earlier when I was checking out Pink Saturday posts, I happen to be on the blog of The Happy Wonderer and Ellen was talking about the Sylmar fires, when I noticed another email coming in from family about the fires. I was stunned to find out that my husband's brother and sister-in-law had to evacuate their house. The house across the street from them has burned to the ground. My sister-in-law tripped and fell over the hoses when evacuating and had to go to the hospital. I don't know the final word on that yet, but so far it looks as though a couple of toes are broken.
What is really strange is that we were just at their house on our recent trip 2 weeks ago. We stayed there the first 3 nights. So I am trying to get my mind around the fact that the house across the street burned down along with whatever else has been burned so far. At this point, theirs is still okay as far as I know. If you had seen my traveling Pink Saturday and Blue Monday last week, a few of the pictures I used were things at their house, like the pretty teapots and the blue and white birdhouses in the yard.
They are definitely in my prayers along with everyone else affected by the firestorms. This is so scary. This warm weather is so unusual at this time of the year in California. We had temps in the mid to high 80's yesterday and today in our area in Northern California. I hope it cools soon so that the fires can be brought under control.
Oh, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law were able to go to their son's house. Keep all those affected by the firestorms in your prayers. Thank you. ---Linnea

UPDATE: We heard that the fire blew by their house without damaging it. But they have no power so they are staying at their son's house. Also my sister-in-law does have a couple of broken bones in her foot.

I hadn't heard about the firestorms. I've not been paying attention to news today. What a tragic event. I hope your family's home is spared and glad to hear that they left for safer ground. My thoughts are with all of those effected.
take care,

The firestorms in United States were reported in the evening news even here in Japan, too. My thoughts and prayers are with all the people who suffered. Chloe patricia
I'm so glad the fire missed their house. How sad for the people in the path who weren't so lucky. I can't imagine losing your house to a fire.
I have been watching the horrific fires on TV. I will keep your family in my prayers.

I hope your family members are all alright. These fires are so bad. We aren't affected except by the smoke. Today it looked like what I would imagine snow "flurries/flakes" would look like...the ash was that bad. It's so hot/dry. I keep praying for our firefighters and all those affected by these fires. :0(
