and I’LL BE THERE, BE THERE, BE THERE . . .

This last week has been such hell. 119 degree heat, the threat of the big California Park Fire being within 3 miles of my house, the smoky air burning our eyes – I don’t remember any August here in Chico being so damned hot, every single day.

And not having a car! When I gave up driving 5 years ago I never dreamed I’d regret it! What with friends being out of town or not reachable, I have felt so vulnerable.

If I’d had to evacuate, I’d have to walk! Can’t you just see a 78-year old woman stumbling out of town leaning on her walker, back-pack on, slippers on her feet? That would be me! LOL!

I think it’s time to get a car again – even if it’s just an old clunker and not pretty but it runs. Ask me if I care about stylish!

So I was thinking about friends and love and kindness tonight – I want to thank all my wonderful who’ve made such nice comments, done healing sessions for my craziness-feelings, offered ideas for soothing my eyes – and heart – I love you all!

Thank you, James Taylor, for your beautiful song, I’ll Be Your Friend –
