All our bags are packed, we're ready to go....

 ...just in case of a fire nearby.   So far, knock on wood, nothing nearby.  We are in the middle of a red-flag warning today, and dry thunderstorms are expected - this is a new phenomenon to me, lightning and thunder but no rain.  Not good for drought-stressed land.

With fires about 45 minutes north and 45 minutes south, the air quality fluctuates between OK and very, very bad.   Paul has air filters installed all over the house, and we keep all the doors and windows closed, and the meows inside (do not believe them, they will tell you anything to get you to open the door).  

We have water, a change of clothes, pet supplies, and important papers.  Oh, and also extra masks and power out supplies cuz, year, it is Covid in CA.   Just one more layer of stress :).

First Day 4th Grade!

Bye Bye Birdie!

Tom was Ed Sullivan in the production this weekend of Bye Bye Birdie!  Kate donned her sock-hop costume from 5th grade to embrace the spirit of the show. For those of you unfamiliar with the musical,  Bye Bye Birdie is set in 1958 and was influenced by Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957.    Congrats, Tom!!

100 days left

We have just over 100 days left in the UK.  The kids are super excited to get back to the States, and we are too.  We have had a great time here, but look forward to being 'home'. This is the last week of term, and only term 3 left!  The last term supposedly goes fast, as the weather improves, there are Suzuki concerts, the talent show, and lots of field trips. We have some travel still lined up, plus some visitors to join us - looking forward to seeing you, Auntie Sarah and Uncle Aaron!  Stayed tuned for pictures of our last few adventures. We are starting to get the ball rolling on movers and pet shippers and all that fun stuff.  And we have to have the whole flat cleaned once our stuff is out. One step at a time!
