Having the fires so close to our home AGAIN!, (last year in Irvine, CA) I found myself focusing again on what is really important to me. I wanted my computer, to be able to communicate with the world (and most of my pictures are on it), my fire box with vital paperwork and family jewelry. Besides a few items of clothing and bath items, that was all that I needed. My family was safe, Jason still has a really good job, and I spent the night at a nice hotel room instead of a cold gymnasium floor. I had so many friends and family who reached out to us, willing to help, and I was so extremely touched! Thank you so much for being there for us, we didn't need it this time, but it is so great to know that if I ever do, that you're all out there for us! All of these things mean more to me than any worldly item you could ever give me. Now I am off to deal with a mold issue that I have in my pantry and see if I can't get that all settled before Thanksgiving. I have a TON to be Thankful for, and I would love to share that day with friends and family in my home. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers...
