Our family has had a small home in Kachina Village just south of Flagstaff, Az. for years. The recent "Slide Fire", a huge Forrest Fire between Sedona, Az and Flagstaff came too close for comfort. This monster Fire has burned for almost 2 weeks and has burned over 21,000 acres and is only 53% contained.
Many people were forced to evacuate their homes, 1000's of others were on stand-by evacuation (be packed and ready to leave in 15 minutes). Our neighbor behind us, his family and 5 little dogs evacuated. The Forrest Firefighters did and amazing job! Not one house was lost and no loss of life.
While we were safe back in Peoria, Az., we certainly had concern about losing this special place. Long week ends, holidays, pancake breakfasts, hikes, grilling, somemores over the fire pit in the back yard. Great times, many memories for us and our children and grandchildren. Luckily the Firefighters saved the day. Thank You Brave Firefighters.

RANDOM THOUGHTS
Phoenix Police proposed pay cut- software becoming obsolete-Summer Stuff & More!
First of all, we think it's completely unfair to give the Phoenix Police Officers a pay cut. They are already understaffed which makes their job even more dangerous. Next time a city council members needs a cop, they should try calling a fellow politician.
We found out our perfectly good WindowsXP operating system is now outdated and is no longer supported. Our Quick Books 2011 version will become outdated as of May 31, 2014. We are forced to purchase a new version. Our customer database program won't run with new Windows version, so we need to purchase an update even though the current version is working just fine, thank you. We also need to buy several new computers to handle the new programs. And so it goes!
BEES.. are having serious problems. Their numbers are decreasing worldwide. So the EPA has established new guidelines to help protect the remaining bees. Your Pest Control Operator will have to be careful not to spray any flowering plants or flowers.
Finally..SUMMER brings vacations, day trips, schools out, festivals, day trips to the cool country, and more. It also brings scorpions, black widow spiders, large sewer roaches (American), ants, crickets, earwigs, and more. Call UNIVERSAL PEST CONTROL 623-979-1983.
