Please keep us posted on our friends in Florida. We just got back on line, the phones have been down most of the day. Theresa's sister lost an addition to their house and a green house, (about 20 miles south east of us). Our Neighbor who is a farmer lost over a mile of sprinklers and power lines to 2 of his wells. Pete, the dubbing arrived today, thanks, it looks great, I love the bright colors. It was a day brightener for me after the last week. Have been surveying damage today and trying to determine what it will take to fix everything. The important thing is that Theresa and Amanda are OK. If anything would have happened to them while I was gone it would have been the worst. Thanks for the prayers, we need them. Amanda says we should just forget it all for a day and go fishing as a family, my kind of girl. Many more in the area need the prayers we receive from our friends, please include them for us. Jimi
All vfb'ers' I just got a call from Gerry Goldsmith, who lives in Orlando, FL. His area suffered quite a bit of damage from falling trees, plus the wind and rain, but nothing like the Ft. Meyers area. Ginger Allen lives in Ft. Meyers, as does Aaron Adams, a friend of Gerry's on another list. Ft. Meyers was hit pretty hard. Does anyone know Ginger's cell phone number or home number? Gerry is offering his home to her or any vfb'ers who were put out of home by the storm. He is without power or water, but still has a roof over his head. Houses on both sides of him had trees crash through the roofs. Thanks, Don
