This is just a quick post to let you know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth.
Remember this post? Well, we all survived, and as I look back on that post, I can't help but notice that it sounded a little melodramatic. It was a weird, scary day though.
We ended up not being evacuated, but this is what the mountain looked like when we went to bed that night:
and here's what it looked like the next day:
It was like there had never been smoke or flames or craziness the day before.
Thanks for all of the well-wishes and concern.
Our summer has been crazy busy!
We've been playing on the lake quite a bit.
The kids are getting pretty good at wakeboarding and love trying to get thrown from the tube.
{My toenails rarely look so pretty, that I had to take a picture...lovin' that Robbins toe.}
Swimming lessons, too.
We've had a few birthdays,
...and parties and reunions,
and been busy with scout activities, girls' camp and youth conference.
I've snuck in a few projects--my favorite is this wingback chair that I made a slipcover for.
Our summer has been exhausting, but great so far.
Hopefully, we'll get the blog back on track when school starts again next month.
Have a great day!
P. S. I normally don't like oranges in the summer, because they aren't as good as in the winter, but I had one the other day, and it. was. awesome! Now I can't stop eating them.

Wow...we must be neighbors because we were evacuated from that same fire! :) We were SO blessed no homes were lost...if you walk out our backyard the fire line is less than 1/4 mile away. I always loved having my backyard be the mountain until that day...;) Looks like you and yours are having a wonderful summer!!
