Hey friends! Just wanted to make a quick update. :)
First off, I just realized I've read 5 books since Christmas break. That's GOT to be a new record for me. So I took a picture of what I think I've spent most of my summer doing...doesn't look too bad, eh?
This book was actually my most recent finish and I am currently waiting for another to grab me. I've started two, so we'll see which one wins. But I enjoyed The Hobbit more than I expected to and am really excited for the movie in December!
Also. This past week, mom and I went to do what we could with fire recovery. We had to sit through a brief training, but then we got free t-shirts and headed out to sift through the ashes of the homes that were burned. It didn't feel like much after seeing all the destruction, but to the home owners, it meant something.
We hope to go again one day this week, and maybe grab some more recruits. They asked us not to take pictures of the area out of respect for those who lost everything, but I did get a picture of part of the scars our mountains are now marked with, just so you could see part of what we were walking into.(We were sad we couldn't take more pictures when we learned that we would be wearing masks, protective eye-wear, gloves, and full body zip-up protective suites.) Very sad indeed.
