As our part of the fire area became safer,
we were allowed back in for specified times.
We spent that time with Claire and Jim putting out smoldering stumps below
the house and around the Carriage House,
and spent our nights at our friend's house.
We finally moved back into our house on September 9,
and celebrated Gary's birthday with members of our
“COVID Bubble”
on our east patio September 13.
