En Fuego on the 4th

Posted by on July 4, 2008 in Personal, Travel | 0 comments

Rather than try to explain what it was like driving into Santa Barbara last night during a raging fire, or attempt to describe the fun we had when the electricity went out for most of the night…

View from my in-laws’ backyard.

My new car. Snowflake sized ash. Not Tahoe, not December.

But it’s all about perspective. Cupcakes by candlelight with the family? Check.

Belvedere with melting ice? Perfection.

But the house is safe and everyone is fine. The fire has shifted and subsided, as well as the wind. And although all local fireworks were cancelled, the party continues.

Enjoy your 4th!
