First, Alan and I wish to express heartfelt thanks for all the caring and concered posts and emails. The outpouring of LCT wishes and prayers for not only us, but everyone affected here in SOCAL, is tremendous and so greatly appreciated.

The winds in our, and Dena/Grant's, area have calmed considerably, I am so pleased to report. However, more winds are expected throughout SOCAL in the next day or two and new fires are starting in so many areas that it boggles the mind and shocks the senses when you see the blazes on the news. Greater relief is expected mid to end of the week, thank goodness!

Holding our LCT friends in our hearts and prayers that each of us comes out of this safe and unaffected.

Thank you so much!
