  1. Just got caught up on your blog and read all these entries. Sorry that your family had a bad time of it, but it sounds like at least the house wasn't burnt in the fire? I hope so. You wrote it up really well, which is a weird thing to say but I was really enthralled reading this & hoping that you guys were okay.

  4. Definitely scary when hospitals are being evacuated.
