Safe From the Los Angeles Fires

 


Thank you for your inquiries about my safety.  I have been fortunate, so far…the devastation is mind boggling.  I haven’t been able to blog because this disaster has made me feel sick.  Many of the dancers and dance teachers I worked with for decades have lost their homes and neighborhoods.  It is tragic.   None of us saw this coming.


 Knitting has helped me to ground and be productive.  I finished the pink socks.  I plan to gift them to my friend who lost her childhood home and current residence in Malibu.  I used to housesit for her parents, and the views and energy were breathtaking.

Thank you for your comments.  They add so much talent and energy to the blog.  Please reply in English.  I’m sorry, but those with links will not be published.  If you enjoy the posts here, please share them.  Comments may take a few days to appear; they are moderated.

    1. Thank you, Pipistrello. Yes, they are. Unfortunately, the Santa Ana winds are scheduled to pick up again next week.

  6. I am so happy to hear that you are safe. As soon as I saw the news on TV about the devastating fires I worried about you. It must be heartbreaking for those losing their homes and possessions so savagely. I pray that you will remain safe and that the fires will soon be extinguished.
