Dearest Ebbie,

I have just read through this thread, and I echo all the good thoughts sent your way. Let us know if there are any ways we can be of help. I can think of no better soul than KT to help you through this trying time, and no better view than from her hillside!

Love to you and to KT.

Cheering for you, Ebbie. And wear a mask over your nose and mouth when you go to get whatever is salvageable. Even after fires are out there are still lots of bad-news particles hanging around and they aren't good for people to breathe in.

Oh my, Oh my. What can I say! With my permission, KTk put this on I can only say that I wanted/want your good thoughts. l And I've got 'em. There ain't nothin' better.

I am the most fortunate of beings. All of the tenants essentially got out of there with the same thing: our pet(s) and the clothes on our backs but as it developed while I have suffered very little loss some of the tenants lost all of their belongings, including actual cash. They have all been put up in various hotels so nobody has gone cold or hungry. Juneau is a WONDERFUL town filled with amazing people.

I personally am experiencing only good things. One of the very best is being here at KT's. Can you imagine anything better? KT is out of town at the moment but I am ensconced in her home with LOADS of food and an amazing view out the windows - homes on the hillside below, a wide strip of the ocean beyond and a mountain ridge on the far side of the channel. I keep forgetting how uniquely wonderful it is. And KT, I wear the Life is Good t=shirt to bed every night.

Life is Good.

Just a point of clarification- though the apartment was spared flame and flood, the building is in need of serious repair or demolition. She'll not be living there again. The good news is, I'll have a very cool roommate for a while!
I had to go away for a bit and Ebbie's had lots of folks looking out for her. Thanks, everyone, for being part of her net! I gave her a "Life is good" shirt to wear. 'Tis.

Oh, that is such good news. Even if Ebbie is unable to move back into the building her possessions should be recoverable. I know at the end of the day it's only 'stuff', but our stuff is part of our lives.

Sending lots more good thoughts and hugs, with a special hug for KT.

Cheers

Oh, great news that her 'stuff' is mostly ok! I hope there is a way for her to find better & safer lodging somewhere. I'm sure that good housing is scarce in Juneau right now, but looking is still an option.

Here is a tale to help you through your period of travail.

'I wonder how many of you have heard the old Indian proverb and parable about the three blindmen. They took all three blindmen to see a banjo, and then they asked them to describe the experience.

The first blindman said - I can feel what it is - its a banjo!

The second blindman said, I too believe I can feel what it is - its the 1953 Goldtone, with Scruggs pegs fitted and a pearl inlay!

But the third blindman hesitated long and hard, screwed up his face with concentration and he would have been gazing at the inquisitor, if he could see. At length he said, Didn't we used to do this gig with an elephant.....?

Hearing that your apartment was spared, but for a bit of smoke damage, is a wonderful thing to hear first off in the morning!

A good and inexpensive way to get rid of smoke odor in clothing is to put a drop (and I really mean just a very small amount) of anise oil in the wash water. You'll want to get rid of the smoke in your clothes but not smell like licorice.

Still keeping good thoughts and prayers coming...

All things considered, that is pretty wonderful news to learn. Thanks for letting us know, KT, thanks for being there for Ebbie, and Ebbie, continuing to hold you near in my thoughts and meditations.

Ebbie, It might take some time to know what you might want or need, instrumentally or for the heart, that some or many of us among this community may be able to offer. Please give us the honor and the opportunity, individually or collectively, to help if and when we can.

Hi everyone!
I've been without phone or Internet access for the last couple of days, which is why it's taken me until now to offer you an update. The good news is, it appears that Ebbie's apartment has been spared flames!! And, it seems it was also spared the full on blasts of water! Although it's a bit damp, there is no standing water anywhere in her place! There is smoke damage to deal with of course, pervasive as it is, but still, this is such wonderful news to us, as you might imagine! Thank you all so much for your messages of support and care. Ebbie says to let you know that she so appreciates your good thoughts, and that right now, that is all she needs. I'll post an update when I have one. For now, please know that you are all loved and deeply appreciated, by both of us! What a great place this is!
KT
