Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
So hey! While all the humans are fine (those who cannot walk, my dad and sister, were not in the house at the time, as they're both in care places/hospitals because they cannot walk at this time), my parents' house burnt down yesterday. They've been there for almost 55 years. I grew up in it. I now have my mom on my couch. My brother's still in the hospital while they make sure he's okay to release. No clue where we're putting him. We barely have room for Mom.
Anyhow. So that happened.

We're coming to the end of the school year, so I wanted to reiterate my open (if inconsistently posted) offer to make ribbon lei for any Buffista-adjacent graduating seniors.
Sad news*. I texted Todd last week to wish her a happy birthday, and today got a text from her sister Roxann telling me that she had passed away unexpectedly in March. Apparently there was no funeral service and no obituary that I could find.
Roxann said that she didn't have contact information for her friends who would want to know, so let this be a reminder for everyone to have a note or directive for someone to let us know if something happens.
I love you all.

I'm not sure how I managed to get so far behind in Natter (crazy week last week, etc.), but I just saw the note regarding the small plane crash in San Diego last week. msbelle is correct, it was miles from me (not a lot of miles, it was only a few blocks from friends of mine and I've definitely been to the neighborhood in question), and I'm unaffected. Thanks for checking in.
