I was one of the lucky ones whose home survived the fires. I completed the move back home yesterday.
This morning, I hung one of my favorite quilts that I made about 20 years ago.
My hope and prayer is that everyone who wants to return to our village will find a way to do so in the coming months and years.

Diane,
You helped me with the kindergarten quilt at Corpus! So happy you are home!
Welcome back Diane. It is so good to see people returning to houses that are still standing.
How wonderful to be home… I can’t wait to come Home, as well.
