It’s horrific and heart breaking… it’s comforting to know how good people really are. God bless us all.
It really, really is heart breaking. We are beside ourselves. Now, to help them heal…
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing Matt.
My cousin and his family were evacuated yesterday late afternoon. I haven’t heard from them this morning.
Glad they are okay, Kelly.

Thanks for the info. I sent Christopher an email on how to get started on ordering wine. So many wineries helping out is so cool. I’ve always wanted to visit Nap/Sonoma and they will need tourist to come back which I told my husband lets go when they recommend a good time to return. I hear it will take up to 2 years from insurance companies to pay them to rebuild. That is a long time to wait they need all the help they can get, the world is in turmoil we have to ban together.
Beverly, yes, it is horrible and it will take a long time to “get back to normal”.
