Michele, what a wonderful and heartfelt post. Living in Oceanside, I can relate to all you are saying. Re: the evauation of the exotic animals, a lot of that has been aired on our local TV coverage. The Del Mar Fairgrounds has done a phenomenal job in caring for the displaced animals. I have shed so many tears this week, it could fill a bucket. Being the animal person, as you are, it's gut wrenching.
In case you haven't read on another thread, my grandson's home is o.k. Really a mess but still standing. Cleanup is a small price to pay for having a home left standing. Our hearts are heavy for all that have suffered the ultimate loss. I cannot fathom it.
Take care and God Bless.

Sweet Michele and Shirley, so good hearing from both of you.
Events, such as the fires this week, so often bring out the best in others, as well as ourselves. Our heartfelt wishes to those who will now begin the very hard process of pulling their lives back together.
To our LCT friends in SOCAL - We all showed compassion, care and strength, checking in on one another, making it through a very difficult week. Just goes to show the power of postive thoughts, prayers and friendship.
Denise
Retired and loving it!

Michele - great to hear from you and thanks for checking in. Shirley - I'm so glad that things are looking up for you and your family. I think I mentioned earlier that my workplace has been involved with the emergency efforts. From that perspective, it's been very encouraging to see and hear of the numerous contributions that individuals and businesses have offered to help out where there is need.
Wishing the SoCal CROSSers as well as the Matassas the best as they begin their well-deserved celebrations!

Michele and Shirley - good to hear from you and that you are safe. So glad Shirley that your Grandson's home is still intact. Michele your story about the animals brought tears to my eyes. So glad your daughter is OK as well.
A tough tough week for all of you SOCAL'ers.

It's raining!!! It's not exactly pouring, but I hope this weather helps get the remaining fires under control. It's cool and overcast which feels great.

Catching up here.
I'm so glad that all of you are safe and hope the fires stay contained. I can't begin to imagine how stressful this must be.
Michele, you had a double whammy with worries about your home plus your daughter in San Diego. Your posts bring tears to my eyes.
And, Shirley, I'm so glad to learn that your grandson did not lose his home. You've had the ultimate challenge in cruise packing with a house full of fire refugees. Thank goodness you have CROSS for rest and relaxation.
Let's hope fire season ends soon.
