Of course we are all concerned that our friends facing the potential threat of these storms with their lives and health. Our best wishes go out to you. Is it to trivial to morn the loss of the art and craft, the hundreds of hours . For some reason I m feeling it hard. Maybe it's because of remorse of being relatively safe here in the North. I've gotten to know lot's of you personally and I know are facing the loss of your art.

For what it's worth, my house survived with nary a scratch although the other houses in the neighborhood did have some damage. No pwer yet (may take a few more weeks) but the J&RG survived to derail again !
