It will take several years before the land and wildlife to recover, and longer still for the families who lost homes.<BR/><BR/>Robin~ Yep, I remember Monte's fire engine siren, too. I think he sent Mom running out the front door to see where the fire was on several occasions. Good on ya, Monte.Carolyn Burns Basshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702584936557311692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436541.post-74801802473846605512007-11-18T05:49:00.000-08:002007-11-18T05:49:00.000-08:00OMG!

Our little Monte Unsted whom used to make the fire engine siren noises better than the real thing is now making a beautiful noise for which the layman can relate. Thank you Monte for your service and in-site. Praise the Lord that your home was spared.

On friday 10/26, there was a shower of ash and the air was unhealthy to breathe. I can't imagine what it was/is like where you are. I want to thank you and all of the rest of those who have sacrificed so much to protect everyone. Sincere and heart felt thanks to you all.

Thank you, Monte, for taking the time to bring us your experience--and thank you, dear C. for sharing it with us.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad we had several weeks of rain in No.Cal. just before this hit. Normally, we're on high alert this time of year, too. Our rain made our courageous firefighters available to our Southern neighbors. Heaven knows you've sent yours to us enough times!<BR/>Abrazos, R.Rebecca del Riohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17550607382399419826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12436541.post-49936586564836350582007-10-31T10:37:00.000-07:002007-10-31T10:37:00.000-07:00May God richly bless you for your courage and ssac...May God richly bless you for your courage and ssacrifce.
