I will be absent for the next several months as we will be moving from California to Illinois, to be closer to family. I am sad to leave my friends, but like the embers of the fire floating to locations far and near, they too will be finding new areas of the state and country to live. No one ever expects to get up in the morning, have coffee and then run for their lives. One day I may share a blog post about that day, but for now, we are looking forward not backward.
Thankfully the internet will allow me to stay in your lives through your beautiful creations. I look forward to the day I can again share with all of you.
Love to everyone,

Oh Mary .. .. thank goodness you and your husband have survived, and all your friends too. You must feel like you have been living through a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for all that you have lost and hope that you can settle and be happy in your new home.
Sending love and hugs

Best wishes to you and yours and take care Mary, your positivity is inspiring, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI imagine your daughter is thrilled that you will be closer. Thanks for the update, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine what it is like but my heart cries with and for you about your loss of everything. You will bounce back and we will help you bounce back. Love from Australia, now in Macleay Island
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words.....
ReplyDeleteMary, thank you for posting this update. I'm so sorry to learn of all you lost in the horrid fires that incinerated your area. I cannot imagine the losses you are enduring, but I'm pleased that you have family to turn to and a place to start anew. You are an inspiration to all of us about keeping positive, moving forward not backward, and in managing to still feel blessed because you are alive when so many aren't. I send you prayers and good wishes for this next unexpected chapter of your lives. Please keep in touch. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteMy new friends Mary and Richard, Your home lives on as do your projects and Richards pictures through the telling. I have told many....just yesterday I told a friend of my travels through your home. Of the beauty I found there. The flowers, painted by Richard, in your bedroom. The beauty of your home and the grand two art rooms I want to wrap myself in. They live on... in the telling. You live on and grow...prosper and flourish. You both are in ny heart. Your home in my mind and lives still in the telling. Safe travels and love on your journey, jodi
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you have lost your home and all your possessions but am thankful that you and your family are safe. I wish you well in your new home.

I wish you the best as you settle in your new home. Your positive attitude is an inspiration to me, and I will be keeping you in prayer. So glad you escaped and your dog was able to leave with you too.
