They certainly don't construct houses like that anymore. I liked hearing, seeing the words and history you have tucked in amongst the support beams. The damage is overwhelming . . . making me feel your loss and sadness. I also sense your resilient spirit . . . <br /><br />January springtime has arrived here too. 61 degrees hadn't been heard of since 1906 . . . I heard a Robin when I stepped outdoors yesterday to walk Snickers. We saw someone walking in shorts, no shirt . . . The sun was shinning after weeks of bitter cold, snow, then rain and more rain. And sky was brilliant with stars. A beautiful day indeed. (And the weather man is reminding us that winter will be returning soon!). I have never seen a January thaw quite like this!<br /><br />Thanksgiving for sure for your wonderful friends, family during your disaster. Be tender with yourself Sandra . . . <br /><br />God Bess You . . .
