GM! Could see the actual sun instead of just a glow through smoke today. Wildfire still out of control, but saw a photo online of a street near my mom’s house that wasn’t burned, so I have more hope she has a home to return to whenever they let folks back into town. 🏡

So late yesterday afternoon, huge amount of smoke was billowing over the mountain ridge seen from Mom’s backyard. By late evening, the whole mountain was on fire. By 2 am, we evacuated to the nearest, bigger town, and about an hour later, the entire district of 12,000 people got an evacuation order and the town lost power. Mom and I are safe in a hotel room. Very grateful to get their last one so Mom has a bed and accessible bathroom, compared to being at one of evac centers on a plastic chair or cot. No idea when we can return home, or how much home there will be to return to. Still feels surreal. Even the smoke and ash in the air this morning is like something from a movie.

Another smoke-filled day, but Mom’s roses (second bloom this year) DGAF. #blooming #flowerstr

Keeping the goal of 8,000 steps/day for August. Still have some right foot pain by the end of the day, so don’t want to increase the daily goal just yet. Checking in on my 2026 goal, I was ahead, so I increased it from 900 to 1,000 miles. 🎉 #proofofwalk #fitnessover50

‘Allo, ‘allo, aloe! Mom got a new house plant. 🪴 He’s more of a GFY than a GM kinda guy.

My mom, 4 weeks postop hip replacement surgery …. leaves her cane on the wheelbarrow full of the cuttings she did cleaning up her flower bed. I hope to be as resilient as her when I’m 84. #momstr #proofofwork
