Evacuated due to Monument Fire

Hello all... just wanted to post while I had the chance to tell you that we have been evacuated from our new home due to the Monument Fire here in Arizona. Today is Day 6 of evacuation... we left Tuesday afternoon and came back briefly on Wednesday, only to be told to evacuate again. We are now at our old house in Tucson sleeping on an air mattress that we fortunately remembered to grab on our way out. Thank goodness our renters are not moving in until July so we had a place to go to; many others not as fortunate.

Mr. S. and the cats and I are all okay. By far this has been the most stressful week of our lives.


The fire went through our neighborhood on Thursday and did some damage, but thankfully our house is still standing. We don't know when we will be allowed to return.

I will post photos once we are back in the house and things settle down. Please pray  that they get this fire more contained soon.
