Osiyo~

In case you have heard and commented on the fire situation, I want to thank you for all the prayers and well wishes. After one night evacuated, we’re back home and everyone human and pet in our family is well. Helicopters are flying over tonight looking out for hot spots and flare-ups. I’m conflicted in how I feel about this. On the one hand I’m relieved they are diligent in preventing more fire. On the other hand it disturbs me that it is even necessary. But I am so thankful for our volunteer and paid firemen working, risking life to protect us.

Hello to new visitors and welcome back to those who are returning to the Ranch! I’m going back to Healing Whispers this week. Tobi has introduced Tanner to Starfire, her ‘broken’ horse and she has returned to the house to check in with her cook on dinner preparations. My Tobi has quite a sweet tooth as you’ll see in this snippet.

Tobi was hoping for some of the woman’s delicious chocolate fudge brownies tonight, had hinted so strongly that morning that Mags had run her out of the house. The minute she entered the big old kitchen and smelled the rich German chocolate, she smiled and kissed Maggie’s age-softened cheek.

“You’re spoiled, girl.”

“I knows it and I luvs it!” she laughed and snatched one of the perfect chocolaty squares to bite into, as a sigh escaped her lips. “Better than sex.”

Maggie laughed, “You must be doing something wrong if my brownies are that good, honey!”

I just love this scene.

Thank you for coming by and I’ll check in when I get a chance. I’ll either be hanging with friends over ‘work’ or helping with refreshments for the firemen most of today. I’d love to chat so comment and I’ll be in as soon as I can.
