Wow A-M, there certainly are some very thoughtful and generous people out there.

Glad to see you back posting, hope the boys (B&K) and the little boys (N&B) are doing well.

What a wonderful thing to do.
It's often the things that we take for granted that we miss first in times like these.

To be able to have a warm shower and to keep connected to our family, friends and colleagues - so thoughtful and kind.


Thank you for sharing A-M, I hope you're week has been brighter,

Felicity x

Chris said...

It's heartbreaking to read about the devastation of your hometown. We went through a similar experience, losing our family room and office as we got 8" of flooding (and sewage) in our home last summer. Glad you and yours are well. Love this post. It is always great so see when the best in people comes out under such circumstances.

Helen said...

Spirit! Yes! Angel! Yes!

Jill Elaine said...

That is just soooo cool. I'm not sure we would see that here in the states. But maybe so. Prayers of blessing to these people!

Simony said...

Robin said...

It's things like this that reaffirm my faith in humanity.

Mrs C said...

OMG...what an angel, they come in all kinds of disguises...and just when you need them!!

Wishing you and your boys all the best A-M, hope the "camping out" at home is brief honey xx

Sending you the luck of the Irish (cause I do believe you need some!!)
Mrs C xx

Mahala said...

You are a creative gal and I sure you will come up with some amazing ideas to action your "at home" camping week. I chuckle because the thing many people do for fun isn't when we do it out of necessity. But your boys seem to need the comfort of their familiar space. It will be fine, and God willing, the electricity will be on soon! Have a great week! Good thoughts come your way.

Grace @ Sense and Simplicity said...

I love how trying times brings out the good in people and actually brings neighbours together. I just read all about your camping out and am very impressed. Somehow cold showers seem much worse at home than when you are at the beach or campground. It will be a few weeks your boys will never forget.

What an amazing family/woman to do that for her neighbours. Tears as I read the signs.
