Lacey to be exact. Miss it terribly, but so horrid to watch any part of it burn.

I know you are worried about family and I feel terrible for you. The old saying "A picture paints a thousand words," has never meant more to me than this moment. Viewing your friend's photo, the the exact same place prior to the fire and smoke and now, truly depicts how horrid the situation is. I'm praying for the safety of your family and friends and for massive rain.Melissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-92091434340893116592015-08-25T02:37:30.220-04:002015-08-25T02:37:30.220-04:00We've lucked out this year in Colorado with lo...We've lucked out this year in Colorado with lots of rain, but even our air is hazy from the fires in Idaho and Washington and California, which tells us how vast and bad the fires there are.

It's great that Canada, Australia and New Zealand have sent help. Wow! That is a lot of smoke. Not good to breathe and it's impossible to keep the smell of entering the house. I am praying for rain and relief.
