She, her boyfriend, and their baby live in Santa Rosa. They evacuated last night. His business is probably ashes (it was located in a mandatory evacuation zone, so they didn't bother to go back and look). Her daycare is gone (and one of the families barely escaped with their lives). It is so sad and tragic. She texted her mother and said "we may be moving back to NY". They must just be in total shock right now. I could not even begin to imagine.

But as long as my loved ones were fine I'd be in shock but also feel free in a way, I think. Our house can be a bit of a depressing burden with constant things going wrong. But we own it, so what can you do? I can't afford to 'start over' now unless forced. So it would definitely be a bittersweet situation in that odd way.Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-89460235750336682292017-10-11T05:17:03.883-07:002017-10-11T05:17:03.883-07:00The news this year has been so sad with hurricanes...The news this year has been so sad with hurricanes, floods, and fires and so much loss of life and devastation. Had friends in Montana and before the snow finally came, it looked like the whole state might burn up. I don't know how people deal with that, but somehow they seem to get use to it according to my friend. I think they keep valuables elsewhere and have what they need at the read to evacuate when things become threatening. This one was odd, I guess because they didn't know ahead? The books question, they actually do have a catalog to find books.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-32094979845402618112017-10-10T23:30:32.952-07:002017-10-10T23:30:32.952-07:00Hi Liz - dreadful ... and there's not many mor...Hi Liz - dreadful ... and there's not many more things scarier.
