jeaninwa.....there is some crack pot going around starting forest fires....20 of them so far. ...2500 acres of forest were lost in this one....animals running all over town, across the highway.....people panicking(car accidents everywhere during the evacuation)....senseless confusion. :0( Hwy 24 is still closed, people are stranded and can't get home, Woodland park has run out of gas. The entire police force has neighborhoods closed off to keep "the arsonist" from gaining acesss to the mountains/woods, while they fight THIS fire..... bengardening.....I appreciate ALL the firefighters that worked to put all those fires out. 9 are sitill burning here in Colorado, but are mostly under control. Thank goodness your DH is such a good person and is willing to help out.....he's very special!!!

Hubby was helping a woman who has a studio and teaches art to kids. Yesterday was her first anniversary, and she had some entertainment. Along with a clown and face-painting, she had a guy come in with his lizards, python, etc etc. The kids loved them! I've never seen a turtle like this, and he loved to just wander around. He was often having to be "chased" and brought back to the tent.
