I wish we could do something about your house, and I don't know if you have access to a computer or even if you have the time and energy to visit Mudcat. We're pulling for you though, and I hope for all the best for you.

Fires in California. Open Mike's house burnt to the ground. I think it's a good thing for her to know folks are thinking of her.

Happy Birthday, Laurel. I am looking for a Blue Bird of Happiness to replace his fallen comrade.
One day at a time, my friend.

So sorry to hear about the destruction of your home. I hope you manage to celebrate your b'day somehow, anyway.

Thinking of you, Laurel,

Yes- Many of us have nice things we could cheerfully share with you. Fires are life-changing, and it may be a while before you know what is needed.

Be well and know we're celebrating your life.

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.

I started this thread to wish a happy birthday then find out that maybe it is not that happy after all. Well Laurel,it may not be a very pleasant time even though it is your day but make your Birthday wish anyway and let your friends in on your wish. As Bruce said; " You have lots of friends here".

But it is happy, Adrien, in that she is alive and hopefully where she can read this.:-)

We are here and will do all we can to help.
