All the houses are rented, the lot just sits thee as it is pretty much worthless, we cannot build on it because of the lack of water.<br /><br />We know for sure that two of the houses are ok, however we are unsure about the third, we have heard rumors that the third house is also ok, but we have no real proof, only hear say, so and so told so and so who told my neighbor....that sort of thing. <br /><br />Linda, I know first hand how horrible all this is, my husband was up in Hidden Valley Lake playing golf with one of our renters when the fires broke out. He and Darrel watched the fire jump from valley to valley. They were 'playing' the 19th hole when someone asked John if he planned on going home that night. He usually stays the night because the 19th hole is not kind to him. The person that was asking told him if he was planning on going home he had better go NOW as they were going to close HWY 29. <br /><br />With that John picked up his cell phone and off he went, heading for home. He made it home safe and sound. Ten minutes after I talked to him one of our tenants called to say they had to vacate as the sheriff had come down the street ordering everyone OUT. <br /><br />We are still waiting for them to open HWY 29 up and over Mt. St. Helena. We have hung on every word that the news reports have to say. Linda, what street does your family live on? Our house that we are concerned about is on Powder Horn. <br /><br />As my husband drove out of town last Saturday, he snapped pictures with his phone of fire on the side of the road in Middletown as he was SURE I wouldn't believe him. The whole thing is so unbelievable. <br /><br />My husband wants to move back up there, I am scared to death of fire and he is going to have a hard time getting me to agree to it. I honestly do not know what I am going to do, it may come down to a choice of deal with my fear or make a decision about my marriage....<br /><br />I pray daily for all the people up there that have lost everything.<br /><br />Cathy<br />CatieCupCakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113744746892159462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387975205672104946.post-36084653442996393182015-09-16T15:32:43.256-07:002015-09-16T15:32:43.256-07:00No update yet.

It's your blog and we all love you. :) I'm just so sorry about everything...the fires, the accident and such loss for all those people. Our first responders put their lives on the line daily and I pray for everyone's safety. Losing your home and beautiful resorts, etc. is so sad. May rain continue to fall!<br /><br />I've thought about that drunk driver all day and it's infuriating to see so many of them out of jail and continuing their unfortunate ways. A drunk ran into a family about 6 years ago in Ft. Worth. The couple's 2 year old son was severely injured and lived in a vegetative state until this spring. He passed away shortly before the guy's trial and the mother was able to make a statement to the drunk. One's heart breaks at the loss this mother suffered...really for 6 years. Sorry for rambling! I'm so grateful that your son is ok and the other 2 are safe.<br /><br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13212447439580468374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387975205672104946.post-19643410293214130492015-09-15T17:58:32.272-07:002015-09-15T17:58:32.272-07:00I am so sorry, Linda.
