suppose to show up AGAIN and didn't. This is 2 weeks now that they have made appointments to come up and do the foundation and the trees and no shows. The city is now on mom and dad's case to get the lot cleaned up and they have NO control over it. There is alot of green vegetation growing from the roots of lots of the trees we had planted and the Oregon grape has already come back up as well as some of mom's perenials have restarted to grow......The grass is also starting to grow now. There are many trees that are falling now and the mess that was made up there when they had to fall the trees to protect the new lines they put up but that to will be gone soon we hope. Mom and dad's lot has been red flagged as they are worried about severe errosion and they have a Geotechnical survey being done now and then submitted to the city to see what has to be done before anything else can be decided on. That is fine...Insurance seems to have forgotten about them as they can't get a hold of ANYONE and they have stalled when it comes to finding out any information on timelines and so on. This whole process is becomming a major stress for them as dad has missed alot of work and the insurance company wants them to get quotes and so on but they can't get plans for their house as they took them to their head offices in Ontairio and nobody knows where they are now and the city won't give them any due to the Geotechnical survey not submitted so they are an an impass. THey are moving into a more permanent residence as of Sunday but they have nothing to put into it....the place they are now is fully furnished and we have been trying to replace some stuff but there are only so many hours in a day that we can do stuff. The stress is really starting to show on them and I feel like I am not doing enough to help them. Pastor Jean came up to the house today(He was on duty at the Parkinson Rec Center for weeks) to see how they were doing and he took a look around and was really upset...he has known our family for years and married my SIL and BIL many years ago and saw our family grow up in many ways....He cried with us at the center and even issued most of our passes and even the one the day we couldnt get up and he has called us on MANY occasions. His church is actually helping people out with building and barn raising for a couple on Timberline who have many goats....they actually have another church comming up from the states comming to help if all goes well too. He is one of the many who have continued on with his help and compassion along with so many others. So hence nothing really to report other than we are running like fools on a treadmill getting nowhere fast. Hope you are all doing well and I check in every day just having had my mind around responding or posting as it seems all I say is depressing....UGH. I love the new board and I will be checking it daily too...Thanks Ely for your contribution of time and finances....
