How close are you to these terrible fires?? Can you see them..smell the smoke..has anyone you know lost their home? Concerned friends here wondering if you're okay down there!


These photo are amazing and sad. I hope I never find out what it is like to go through something like this....

Oh, Hilary, so glad your area is being spared from those horrendous fires! Those photos are so bad, much like the devestating fires that sweep parts of California. I knew you were down in that part of the country and Victoria doesn't seem that far away on the map. Close enough I mean for you to maybe see hazy skies. I had not heard of the Queensland flooding either..more devestation. So sad for all who are in these areas.


What heartbreaking news about your best friend's son. Makes my eyes teary thinking about
