THANK YOU! Looking for the day you state the same for Soberanes,
Thank you! :-)
Has the cause of the Chimney Fire been determined??
Arson has been ruled out, I believe, but actual cause has not been released.

How nice to only have to worry re: one fire!
Yes, there for a while it was pretty hectic. Now, it's like, "what am I going to do with all this time?" LOL. Maybe clean my house, as it has been neglected.
