Greetings to our Olivia family! We are doing OK, some days better than others, but things are finally falling into place. Our insurance company has been phenomenal. The company they contract with to clean up after fires has already packed up and moved out all the salvageable stuff. They will clean, repack, store everything in climate control storage, and re-deliver it when the house has been completed. They estimate 6-8 months to rebuild. They are delivering a 39' travel trailer with two pop-outs Tuesday and a small POD as well (where we can store all the things we will immediately need that won't fit into the trailer). The trailer will be totally furnished, linens, cooking utensils, TV, etc. We should get moved in by Wednesday and that will give our cats and dog a few days to get acclimated to another new environment before we have to leave Saturday for Ixtapa!!! Yes, we have decided to leave it all behind for a week to soak up the sun, salt air, sunsets, and wonderful friends. We also want to collect all the cyber hugs we have been receiving in person.
Thanks to all of you for all the kind words, support, and encouragement.
Margaret & K.C.
