Hi Kids,
Well - the fire storm has left our area. Our house still stands - Thank God! We have some damage to repair due to the Santa Ana winds. About 4 trees are damaged pretty badly. The tree man will be here tomorrow to take out 2 of them and try to save the other 2. It is going to be a lot of work. Robert and I purchased a chain saw today, but when we looked at the amount of work and how tall the trees still are... we decided to leave it to the professionals.
The roof guy came and gave us an estimate for that repair work. Pretty Pricey... we have also called the Insurance Co. and the President has declared this area to be assisted by FEMA. Hopefully we will get some additional assistance from them to help offset all this unexpected expense. No matter what... Robert and I will have this place back in shape in no time. : )
Once the reverse 9-1-1 call came in we stayed with Grandpa Berdeski, in the Guest house and we really enjoyed ourselves. I got to visit with my youngest 1/2 brother Phillip, who just turned 20 a few days before Deano's 18th birthday. We also spend quality time with Grandpa, Celia my brother's Joe, Lui, Steven, Michael and my two sisters Beth and Ginny. It was nice to visit with everyone.
Uncle Gary had to stay at his house in Chula Vista because his area was under close watch for fire too. The whole county was under watch really... at one point or another. So we didn't see him and his family this time.
Grandpa had a Pizza Party on the second night and we had 17 people at the main house. Grandpa and Celia bought about 15 pizzas... every kind you could imagine... My favorite is the Meat Lovers Pizza Yummy!!!... but ~ man o man... was I thirsty after that... I couldn't seem to drink enough water to quench my thirst. So then I was really stuffed with all that water... ugh.
Grandpa took about a hundred photos... If he emails me some I will post them here -
Well my dear boys... I Love you Guys!!
: ) Mom.
