Well, Laurel, this is the strangest Happy Birthday I ever sent. On the bright side, you are alive and your pets and instruments are safe. On the other, you are a firefighter whose lost her home to the fire she was fighting. I'm in tears for you. There's some sort of terrible irony that a person who has 'put it on the line' to help others so often should lose so much while she was out helping others. You hang in. You have lots of friends here as you'll soon be finding out.
