The smoke is getting to me too, but our daughter and granddaughters in southern Oregon have it really bad. They can't go outside without face masks. It can not me good on the lungs. They have all been having bad and dry coughs. School starts for them on Tuesday and I can see a lot of recess time spent in the gym.

But I guess we can't complain as the fires and floods are much worse.

It's just like here with the dust. Even if you can't see it in front of you, it's still in the air. A childhood friend in the Houston area had to be evacuated from her home. Watching the news about everything happening there is just heartbreaking. You constantly amaze me with all the wonderful things you create to give back.

How nice that the man from your church will receive a blanket from you. I am sorry to hear that you may not be able to use your new trailer this year. Glad that you could get your hubby another cup that he likes. I have a couple favorites also. I hope all your smoke clears up soon. How discouraged the people in Texas must be too. Have a lovely week-end!

I would like fall to come soon with cooler weather and rain. Where did you order the mugs from and do they do well in the dishwasher or do you wash by hand, which I tend to do with special mugs? I'm glad you got an updated one! Sorry you didn't get to come down to Oregon. Lots of fires burning in Oregon. I need to head outside and water my plants before it gets too dark. Piper is getting tall and so cute!

I hope people are also praying for those whose homes and livelihoods are being destroyed by the fires as well as the brave individuals who fight the flames and sometimes lose their lives doing so. Over 1000 fires are burning in four or five western states. The destruction is tremendous.
