Our children's childhood home is on fire. Idyllwild has been evacuated. We lived there 11 years until Walt and I were forced to move to the desert because of his lung disease. This is where we first studied the bible and got baptized. Amanda lived there even after we left and Kristopher lives there now. We have so many friends there. There are about 40 brothers and sisters in the congregation there and I got to know everyone of them when I was there for 3 months 2 years ago. Kris is safe. Last night we heard that he was in Mt Center about 10 miles from Idyllwild, but in an area that was already passed over by the fire. Haven't heard an update all day so don't know if the town is still standing. Such a worry.
Walt is having a nice day. His long time friend Bob came for breakfast this morning. Walt and Bob have gone for breakfast once a week for years. They used to go with John, but he died a few years back from black tar lung disease. It's so difficult for Walt to find anything to eat at a restaurant so it's easier for them to come here. Bob and John used to come to the restaurant when we had it so I'm used to cooking for Bob. He's pretty easy to please. I made seafood omelets (do you believe it NOT poached eggs!) and they were happy guys.
I juiced some carrots and beets today. Carrot juice is a big cancer fighter so it is a must. Good thing Walt likes it.
We had a visit from friends Theresa and Dan. Walt had a beautiful salad for lunch made from the organic veggies from their garden. Thanks for the special treat and the cuck was delicious. Walt got a card from his niece, Jannette. It was so special. We have many fond memories of all of the family that was at one time in Ohio and are now all over the place.
I have to say again, in case anyone missed it. We have heard from so many friends and family that we haven't talked to in forever. Again, that is not a sad thing. With our busy lives we can't possibly keep up with everyone and everything we have to do. What a blessing to know that our long lost (or not) friends think about us and are there for us when we need them. That means you Dina & Oscar, Tim & Olga, Tim & Karen, Becky, Joyce & Don and anyone else I forgot because my brain is fried. We love you all and thank you again for your prayers. Walt has such a positive, happy attitude and I give the credit to all of you keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.
Update: Guess what Walt wants for dinner? You guessed it. 3 poached eggs!
