Diane, thank you so much for posting this. We met though the Santa Rosa Quilt Guild many moons ago, but I still have a button you gave me that read, I don't lie, I embellish." One of my treasures from that time. I still have one relative and friends who are in Santa Rosa. My cousin is safe and so is their house. I'm still trying to connect with a friend. I hope she's okay. Lives in Sebastapol. I left for Texas in 2007 but California is my heart, born there, lived there until hubby's transfer. Be well, Read your blog and bought the book!
