Fires and Fabulous Food

In case you haven't heard, the fires here in Cali have been pretty voracious. There was one in Brea, which is pretty close to us. Only about 8-10 miles away. We could see the smoke start early in the morning on Saturday and by mid-afternoon it had filled the sky. It was hard to breathe outside, which left campus pretty deserted, but did give us sweet pics like these:

If only I could have taken a picture at sunset time! The sun was seriously deep red! On Sunday, it was raining ash like some form of weird snow...except not the kind you would want to catch on your tongue. By Monday, the air was clear and it has been since. Another Christian college in Cali, Westmont, actually had the a fire burn down some of their buildings! Scary! Thank goodness that God protected them and there were no lives lost.

Last night, the caf treated us to Thanksgiving dinner, a week early. Dr. Barry Corey and his wife were slicing up the turkey and serving it. The food was marvelous!! We all enjoyed the festive atmosphere as well. Nu-Nu leaves for home today with her guy friends from Oregon. She's skipping her classes on Monday and Tuesday...shhh! Kendall leaves for home on Tuesday. Brenna and I are going to hang around here until Wednesday or Thursday, then head for her house in San Diego. Should be exciting for me, cause I've never been there. Well, that's about all for now. God's blessings on your Thanksgiving. Take a few minutes to remember what you have to be thankful for. Bye now!
