We're dealing with high winds and poor air quality here in Anaheim. The sad news is that things aren't looking so great for Kevin's grandparents' cabin in Green Valley Lake, CA. GVL is in the mountains and their cabin, which they built themselves, has served as a refuge for Hogans for decades. We have enjoyed our time there together. The dogs love the cabin--there's so much to sniff! And we've always enjoyed the solitude and relaxation.
Unfortunately it's in the middle of a firestorm. At last report, 25 homes have been destroyed, many on the street we called "Digory's Favorite Street" because he goes nuts when we turn the corner there on a walk. Apparently it's the Best Sniffing In Green Valley Lake. It's really very scary and heartbreaking to see houses you recognize completely engulfed in flames. What's worse--they've evacuated all emergency personnel from the area. That means that they're not even fighting the fires anymore. Whatever will happen, will happen. All we can do is hope and pray that the cabin makes it out intact. It will be a huge loss for the Hogan family if we lose it.
