We had a burning bush!
There was an emergency in the area. I still haven't found out what it was. Sun. Aug, 19, 5:47 p.m. There were 4 cars at once, and another a bit later.
Our Local Food Bank
We donate monthly to our food bank, as well as some other groups (our Women's Shelter, The Stephen Lewis Foundation, Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary!).I was interested in what the food bank is doing for local citizens: "The Table Community Food Centre now offering peer advocacy programming in Perth".
This is what will help people in our community.
Around the World
They are home and safe. JL and Isabelle were in business class, Caitlin and Josephine were in the back and took longer to disembark having come from LAX => YVR => YOW!Isn't this a joyful photo?!
Also, it's Gramma Camp this week! Stay tuned for more tales!
The kids took some photos of the smoke from the California fires as they flew back. It is shocking. The fire in Central Ontario ("Parry Sound 33") is FINALLY under control. It started July 21st. There are fires all up and down the continent.
There is a Montana wildfire threatening a Canadian park.

Foodbanks have become a bit of a contentious issue here of late. Question marks over who obtains and whether these places may, in fact, have provided the government with the grounds to weaken their social support. Such an enormous problem. YAM xx
Hopefully we can put this fire season behind us soon.
Down here some food banks ask no questions, others are run by a committee, and people go through a vetting process. Fires, so scary.
Move alerts from Waterton National Park have been removed as they had rain in the area.
I strongly doubt your hubby smokes- I'm assuming that's some sort of deterrent to wasps?
Hmmm... not us. We get bugs year around in Hawaii.
The cooler weather is slowing the fire growth, at least in Montana. We have been watching these fires carefully … it has been nice to have blue skies again!
