This week has been an amazing one. It began with a coworker losing her house completely to a brush fire in the east end of town. The entire city watched rapt with attention as the story unfolded of a brush fire that swept up the ridge and burned 7 houses to the ground, damaging the whole neighborhood. The office rallied around this coworker and it was heartwarming to see. Her family is now in temporary housing and working with the insurance company to rebuild on the same spot.
This was Jordan's first week of School and she has taken it on with zeal so hopefully that will be reflected in her work as the year goes on.
On Friday Cobi and I attended the Shakespeare production of Macbeth at the festival down by the river. It was a beautifully done production. The festival has been hard hit though the last couple of weeks with an old member passing away and then the lead of Macbeth being replaced by an understudy after succumbing to back trouble. But even with all these troubles the show was a great success.
Saturday we took it easy,

lounged around the house and did some chores, tried to keep it mellow. We did have to run an errand and ended up driving by the burned neighborhood. It was a morbid awakening and I'm sorry to say that we didn't take the camera with us as it was a sight unspeakable with words. The houses are simply gone and in their place are a small pile of charred black rubbel. It truly is so very sad. Thank you to those of you who have supported us in helping my coworker and her family get back on their feet. I will be passing on your support to her on Tuesday when we are back at work. Thank you!
Sunday we did some yard work in preparation for fall. Finally finished with the rock out front. Now only a few plants and some more bark and we can declare the front yard DONE! :)

Monday was mellow again as we needed some rest. Hung out around the house and then went to a BBQ at our friend's Mark and Jodi's house. Was a blustery cool day here in Idaho, fall is trying to find it's way in.
