Please bear with my tale of woe bear_cry  bear_wacko
On thursday in the early morning hours we got a call from my son, he was broken down in Santa Barbara on his way home to San Diego. So I drove from San Diego to Santa Barbara delt with the car situation, cracked head gasket. Then to Idylwyld (in the moutains east of Los Angles) to drop off my son at friends who were later going to L.A  then home on Friday evenning, took a half hour nap and woke to the screams of FIRE! Our neighbors garage was engulfed in flames a lot of combustible things kept exploding! My husband is hobbling out the door (he has a bad back and knees) and I am following after him trying to get the kinks out of the water hose (in my housedress no bra) my other son was calling 911 emergency, then I am running to the neighbors yelling fire and getting more hoses out, my neighbor accidently turned the hose on me (wet front) not a pretty sight bear_rolleyes
Our houses are older and wood, a lot of trees and low hanging wires. Well the fire dept came and put it out toot sweet bear_thumb such handsome men bear_tongue
All the neighbors were pulling together, it did my heart good to see this, the young men whose garage caught fire are fine, a new $70,000 dune buggy is not bear_shocked
My brother in law calls to tell me he wants to go back to Santa Barbara with me in the morning to get the car. We did, on Saturday and came back the same day, sigh.
And Then on Sunday at around 5pm, son calls to say he is stuck up in L.A  "can you come get me mom?" I did.
I am plumb wore out bear_wacko

Right, take a rest. Drink a bowl of hot chocolate, eat some chocolate cakes/tabs and believe me, unless you are allergic to chocolate, you should feel much better!

Beary hugs,
Sophie.
