"We need help! Our barn is on fire!" I will never forget that morning... you are right about the food part. Once things got under control and the fire department had left it was about 9:30 am and everyone was hungry. I came home and whipped up some coffee, eggs, coffee cake, and fruit. It was doing something that made me feel better... It was a lot of work the next few weeks and months.... but the sense of community was there.<BR/>HeatherMore than Survivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391332999979380361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375624734120805626.post-64453455212045717172008-03-22T19:37:00.000-05:002008-03-22T19:37:00.000-05:00So sorry for the loss of the barn.

It sounds like you're not the only one who's recognized how your FIL will do anything for anyone ~ I'm glad to hear his community is looking after carding for them.
