For those that have asked, The Davis Mountains Inn was spared even though several of our neighbor's homes behind us are gone. My heart breaks for all those families who lost their homes. The Drug Store and downtown buildings are safe. Thanks to Texas Forest Service, Local Emergency Services and other state and federal agencies and all emergency personnel that have flooded in to help Ft. Davis. We do live in an amazing community. We will recover..... like one young boy said who lost his home...."It will be really green when it rains." That is a great outlook! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

My heart goes out to the many wonderful people of the entire affected area. I hope and pray that any lingering fires are put out quickly and recovery is as swift and complete as possible.
