A house blew up (gas leak) in my former home town of Canby, Oregon where my mother still lives. Canby is not a very big place, but this happened just about as far from her as it could, over on the other side of town entirely.
I am a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister, a grand-daughter, a volunteer, a business owner, a partner, a nurturer, and an unrepentant sap. I have eclectic tastes in most things.
