<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>Mother Nature is reeking (or is that wrecking?)
havoc in Northern CA for the past three days. I won't even venture
out of the house with almost 40 mph winds. (Pin cushions are going to be a
bit delayed in being mailed.) We have two huge limbs down in the back
(Thank doG they missed the house!). My front arbor was torn in half and I
am hoping that the fence stays up. The gang are grateful for the
built in porch as that is as far as they will venture out. I am sure it
won't be long before I am riding the mop and the paper towels come
out. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>Poor Ruby Doo was freaking out until I put her
anxiety wrap on her. That was a chore because she does not like her feet
messed with. She is calmer but is staying in the kitchen so she
doesn't hear the wind as much. The rest of the gang are resting but
Fab Freddie is being very watchful.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Balloon>I hope everyone in CA is staying safe. For
all of you in the MidWest and East, batten down the hatches as I know it will be
coming your way.</FONT></DIV>
