I've been VERY concerned, but understood that it might be quite a while before you remembered there were friends around the world worrying about you and no way to get in touch other than on line , finally....The poor people in Japan are now dealing with what you are 'wearing out' and I read their shakeup was 800 times..or was it 8000 times? worse than yours. The mind boggles, right ? With all the 'luxuries' like power, water, etc. lost to you it gave you a little taste of what our ancestors had to work with....Our town lost most of IT"S heritage buildings in a tornado a few years back...I'll pray you safe as you and yours struggle to overcome this disaster...Love, Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:21:00 -0700 (PDT) Helen Mcnamara <hennymac1941@yahoo.co.nz> writes: > Thanks for caring.
