Rain and more rain

It rained most of yesterday and last night. About 1½ inches of rain, so ODF will probley call of fire season. Slow in the store today, but watching football on the telly. Bye for now, Lu

The rain is coming

Finally rained to knock the dust down and hopefully lift the fire season. Living in Southern Oregon we have fire season that last about 4 months depending on weather. We have been lucky as not to have a big fire this year. Everyone is ready for fall and winter. It is to rain all weekend so that may lift the danger. We have a big pile of stuff and the back to burn so it would be nice not to look at it any more. Bye for now, Lu

Just the same ole...

Things are back to normal as all visitors are gone. Jerry has all the wood split and covered because of rainy days. Just needs to stack it and cover it and he will be done with that project. Sales have slowed to normal and we have our regular and local customers now. They keep us up and running. sales are up this year. Now its on to the fall and winter months here in Beautiful Southern Oregon.

Grandkids

Janelle and her family are here visiting for a few days. How nice it is to have family around. We don't get visitors much. We went to the Oregon Caves and Jerry took them on a rafting trip. The kids were very happy about the rafting trip. Today we are going to Indian Mary Park and then on to Galice for lunch. should be another nice day. They will be leaving tomorrow. It is nice to get away from the store once in a while.
Buy for now,

Fire will be going for a while

The Oak Flat Fire just north west of us is still going. only 15% contained. About 1250 acres burning in rough terrain. It is hard for the Fire Fighters to put it out.
Daughter and family are coming to visit for a few day. I hope the smoke doesn't bother them. They are from Southern Cali so they should be used to the smoke. It will be fun to have them here for a while.

Haven't Posted in a while

We have a forest fire going on in our area. It is about 6 miles nw of us. About 500 acres and it is in tough terrin. No containment yet because it is hard to get to. I is a little to close for comfort but we are watching it. Its called the Oak flat fire in southern oregon.

Nothing much

Everything has been about the same everyday. Sales are up year to date this year so far which will look very nice for the presective buyers of the store when we put it up for sale next year. Next month will be 8 years and would like to retire in the next year or so. We have to sell the store to retire. There have been a few small country stores sold in the area lately, so we hope when we put it up for sale it won't take too long. Finger crossed.
