Prayers to Polarpi! My friend Cheryl is in the same boat - they evacuated their dog last week, since you can't take an animal into the shelters. And their house was just finished in April!
I'm sure that there are a LOT of ADPi sisters who have been or will be affected by these fires. Let's all keep some good thoughts about them.
Oh, and by the by - Polarpi was going to spearhead a little "project" we've been planning here. Would someone else like to take over, so she can focus on other things? Please PM me ASAP!!
