Fire Update

What does one say? Dawn, Fred, Larry and I are truly overwhelmed by the outpouring from this wonderful community that we live it. It will take volumes to thank each and everyone. We grieve, but so do you. Members of the Evans family have paid a visit. The Evans family purchased the house in 1908 and the grandson and great grandson came to the house. They had lived in the house on Pearl and the Grandmother had lived in our house. We carefully ventured into the entry way the wallcovering had pealed away to reveal his grandmother's original wallpaper. It was a very sad moment for them. That was the moment that I realized that we had only been caretakers of this beautiful home and that there had been so many others before us with wonderful memories.
The morning is the hardest when I wake up and realize that I cannot make a cup of coffee and sit at my computer overlooking the garden. There is no where I would rather be than Pomona.
The help is needed most at Dawn's right now with the plants. Saturday is our clean up day. We thank so much those that have brought clothes and food. We are telling everyone who wants to help to go to the Dawn's house next door in the back yard. Food and water to help the volunteers is very welcome. We love you all and ask to keep us all in your prayers.
