The worst that happens to us here are major snow storms. We do try to make sure we have enough food and staples on hand in case we can't leave to go to a storm. Earthquakes? I thought you lived in Florida for some reason?? Duh... I guess not!

Such a generous person who helped so many. A true gentleman. <br />Thanks for your words of kindness for the people of NY. So many without heat or power and now 6 in of snow on the ground and 60 mph winds.<br />I believe in being prepared too! We have plenty of food and water, filled up the cars, but now 10 days later, the gas is getting low and there is a big shortage.

Living in the Midwest, we are prone to tornadoes that are in and out within a few minutes. I just can't imagine that going on for hours and days at a time! Yes, I HAVE thought of some natural disaster literally blowing through and taking all my pretties with it. Very unsettling. In the end, though, I'm sure I'd just be glad to come out of the whole thing with my life and the lives of my loved ones intact.

It is so sad, it was a beautiful little boutique. Today I sent her a check after checking with my friend as to what they needed. They have to start all over again. But that is just what she plans to do, so my little cntribution was the least I could do. My heart aches for all those who lost so much.

I too have worked in the cannery and am so proud to belong to a church that looks out for the poor and helps us prepare for an emergency. Thanks for the reminder about preparing. Your table is fun and I love those red glasses that you and Jean gave me. What a nice tribute and reminder to help out our fellow Americans at this time of need.
