We have been out of town for four days. Just got back late last night. We went to sunny San Diego to spend some time with our daughter and her family. We had the best time! The kids were out of school on Thursday due to the fires and the heat. Now I find that a bit weird! I know it was hot inland but they live on Coronado Island and the highs were only in the low 90's and they don't live near the fires. The fires are in the northern part of San Diego. I hope they can get those out soon. It was so devastating to see the news reports. We could see the smoke from the island though. Not pretty!
We did have fun watching the Navy Seals practice blowing things up on the beach. LOL! Where our daughter lives the beach is right over their back fence. That beach is where the Seals practice. So we got to watch the ships our in the ocean, helicopters hovering over the water, people dropping out of the helicopters, seeing the grenades blowing up sand and the guns going off. WOW! This went on all day long into the late evening. It was AWESOME to say the least!
Anyway, we are back to our normal hot desert! I have listed a new pair of earrings. I love this pair of earrings. It has three shapes, circles/round, triangles and squares. Love the turquoise and the copper together. Enjoy! You can click on the picture and the link will take you to the listing.
Peace~

Sorry you had to be here when the fires were in effect but at least you were in Coronado! I was very surprised they closed schools there, if the fires got too close to us that's where we were headed!
Melissa, it wasn't bad out on the island at all. But I think they really closed the schools because of the fact that it was in the 90's and they don't have AC in the schools out there. There wasn't any smoke in our area at all. We did have a great time tho. We always do. Love visiting the kids there. Although I wish they lived closer to us here. sigh.... Hope you are safe and no fires near you. Hopefully with the cooler weather moving in they'll be able to get those fires out. :-)
The crazy thing is that the schools in our neighborhood don't have AC and it was well over 100 degrees! I don't think the district I work for has ever closed because of heat, even though many of the schools don't have AC...I think Coronado had the right idea!
Everything seems to be pretty well under control now, should be cool enough that I'll be able to fire my kiln in the next few days even :)
