You may have heard of the fires raging in So. California right now. One of them is the Palisades fire, and it has destroyed so many homes and buildings. There have been 11 deaths, thousands of evacuations, and the fires have burned more than 10,000 homes and other structures. It's so scary - Nel and Jess are Ok, but Nel is only about 20 miles from one of the fires, and Jess is about 50 miles from another. Jess' school has closed where she teaches, and Francesca's school is closed. That's all this mama has been doing all week is worrying. Prayers are greatly needed. Thousands of firefighters are working around the clock to get them under control and contained.

I have been hunkered down trying to wrap my head around all of this, and feeling very saddened and thankful myself that I have a home. I had to get out today, and went to a few stores. What is it about purple that makes me stop and gaze? I feel mesmerized when I see anything this color, it's so exquisite.
I bought some purple silk flowers and a purple cup.
I've been eating comforting foods, as the worry seems heavy this week, like baked ham sandwiches, homemade brownies, and lots of tea.
Please pray for So. California, my friends. And I thank you very much.

Praying for everyone threatened and affected by those terrible fires Sheri. Take care of yourself Sheri.
When my son Michael was living in Long Beach and going to UC, I used to fear an earthquake and him being in it and needing me. Of course he was fine but when disaster happens where are children are, our Mama instincts kick into overdrive. I hope and pray the winds don’t come back this weekend as forecasted.
All we can do is pray and pray some more. 🙏🏻
We have been watching the fire on the news channels all the time! I am so sorry, I will sure be praying!! I have this same mug! what a good idea to buy the flowers to match and put them on a little tray. I have some purple flowers and will do the same! This ham looks mouth watering!!
Forgot to say I really like your new header; it was a nice surprise!
Sheri, I am so glad you girls are safe, and I hope the fires are gone very soon. We are horrified as we see the film of Pacific Palisades, street after street all burnt out. It is extraordinary, and shocking. 10,000 homes is difficult to even comprehend. Your purple flowers are very pretty, and remind me that Lent will be along soon. Praying for California.
