Hello Dear, this post will be a bit shorter than usual. We’re getting ready to leave for a trip a few days earlier than planned. The skies of the Bay Area are dangerously smoky from the Camp fire in Paradise, California (over a 150 miles away!), schools were cancelled all over the East Bay and in San Francisco, so we’re going to head south and make the best of it. For those of you who are in the Bay Area or in the paths of the fires, please take good care and keep in touch with your loved ones.
