WILDFIRES IN THE HILLS OF LAKE CHELAN

It was years ago. On a thanksgiving night. The family gathered
to celebrate Thanksgiving on Lake Chelan. A spooky night was in
the plans. The children were gathered together to tell spooky scary
stories of their personal nightmares. Off in the hills there were
Forest fires, warnings of being evacuated.

Update to today. Homes were
destroyed on the very area we
sat. Still do not know if this
is one of the homes destroyed

VEGETARIAN GOBLINS AND GHOSTS

Halloween arrived in clear starlit night
A circle of family gathered to see the sight
The hills ablaze and on fire
Lake Chelan the flames went higher
Fear all around an orange moon light
Was that a witch on broom in flight?
candle light, scary Beatles butcher cover
All around the music goblin's and ghosts did hover
the meek and mild under heavy blankets did smother
Dark flames and smoke altered the sight
Up above brave men the fire did fight
Suddenly there came on the roof up above
A mean ugly voice someone give him a shove
"I eat Grandpa for my nightly dessert
And with the women I do flirt
My Grandson not afraid had enough
He was willing to challenge the dude,s bluff
For in his heart was filled with love
"Ghost and Goblins are vegetarian had enough
They eat garlic broccoli and pumpkins
and wipe off the tears with bloody napkins
So get out of here you creeps--
For Grandma in side now sleeps

The end!"

Today's news Lake Chelan on the southern end of the lake.
Businesses and homes are on fire. The very place we were
celebrating Thanksgiving.
