Fire Day 11

I thought I would update my weight loss.  I have lost 10 pounds and it feels great.  So proud of myself and I feel so much better.

Laura and I are doing well.  I was so proud of how she helped through the fire and how the two of us didn't argue or get on each others nerves once.  I am so relieved to see that when push comes to shove, Laura has her priorities in order.  I love her so. 

As to the fire, it is 70% contained.  Tomorrow is July 4 and there is to be NO fireworks in Colorado Springs.  Not even sparklers.  I hope everyone complies. 

Jan is doing well. She is back to work today.  I think that might be good for her.  NPR contacted her again and requested photos from Stephen.  I might be famous.  Becca created a heart out of the bricks of Jan's house.  Someone from the Gazette found it and published a picture of it.  I guess, in a way, she if famous too.  We all feel famous.  The community outreach and support has been amazing. 

We are all tired and ready to move on.  I suppose this will be an ongoing story for a long time.  The fire isn't out yet, but we are moving on.  We are healing and we are strong.

Here are a few pics from yesterday, including Becca's heart.

Big Horn sheep have invaded Glen Eyrie, away from the fire.

Beautiful grounds of Glen Eyrie AFTER the fire.

Glen Eyrie Castle still standing.  Still beautiful.

Thank you fire fighters!!!

It's still here.  It's still beautiful. This is from Glen Eyrie.
