But you lightened the story with one of hope and joy and how one phone call has made such a difference in someone's life. Congratulations Craftsy and Janome for showing the human side to those in need. A little goes a long way😀 <br /><br />Thinking of all those impacted. <br /><br />Love and hugs from your friend across the water.

The fires are well away from her this year but, since this is the beginning of the fire season, that could change. I hope not. Everyone is trying to help the over 40,000 people evacuated so far. Even grocery stores are accepting donations and matching them. <br /><br />Good on Lizzy and Craftsy. Way to go Janome. I'm glad Eldora is putting her life back together.<br />works4mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18354741604515547179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-69584541591911564872017-07-20T09:46:06.082-04:002017-07-20T09:46:06.082-04:00Yes, us proud City of Edmonton residents are renow...Yes, us proud City of Edmonton residents are renowned for opening our hearts, as we have proven time and againLinda Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911266248363959007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-17682151375589172122017-07-20T08:04:45.236-04:002017-07-20T08:04:45.236-04:00What a beautiful story about Eldora, Craftsy and J...What a beautiful story about Eldora, Craftsy and Janome!Vicki in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155452692252270164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-48417558586908430562017-07-20T07:17:55.198-04:002017-07-20T07:17:55.198-04:00It's a good thing I had kleenex near when I re...It's a good thing I had kleenex near when I read this.
