One month ago today....

Hard to believe that a month has passed since the hurricane swept through LM! I am grateful beyond words for the lessons I learned from my neighbors and friends in the aftermath of this event. This little community pulled together and literally shined in the days following. The constant motion of people helping one another was truly amazing! And this was done while many had no roofs or beds! To the family that came to my assistance the next morning to clear my drive and path....mil gracias. To the volunteers who came from other parts of Mexico to help assist with the communities needs...bravo! To those who live here that organized help for donations....thank you! To CFE for their amazing job of getting our power back on in record time....wow! And to Telemex...these guys did an amazing job, although at times my patience wore thin in waiting for their arrival...thank you for leaving your homes far away to give us our communication back. I am so very grateful! | ------------------------Re: One month ago today....

Well said Stephanie! Adan's son, Adan from Bamboo Bar and friends were out cleaning the street in front of my house. I gave him money to go and buy everyone a Coke....He brought CHANGE back!!! Love our little town! | ------------------------Re: One month ago today....

Yeah, Stephanie, I was just thinking that it was four weeks ago today that I was trying to call you as Patricia approached...and then the power went out. What a transformative time it has been for the heroic folks in our little pueblo ever since. Gracias a dios por todos. | ------------------------Re: One month ago today....
