Motherofpearl Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Hey all been since May 3rd since the city of Fort McMurray was evacuated. Looks as if my home is still standing and unless the looters got at them my other Gibsons may make it. We are being allowed back to the city on June 3rd. But I believe that it just to access our properties and grab whatever we need to get by. Anyway can't wait to get back to normal and start picking on a guitar. I'm in a work camp right now north of the city away from my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortyearspickn Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Disasters of this magnitude can be overwhelming. But, as our President says - 'Let no good crisis go to waste'. If you continue to think positively - it will make for a better future for you and your family in the coming weeks. We are all glad you will soon be back Picking and Grinning !

Motherofpearl Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks everyone! We are really excited to get back home. Be awhile before we can live there but at least we have something to look forward too. I appreciate all your thoughts. We also had a little rain last night to boot!

MissouriPicker Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I hope to God everything is like you left it, Mother. I really had no idea how tragic this fire was until you mentioned it here and I started finding more about it in the news. Don't know that I'd have the strength and faith that you folks have. God Bless and I hope/pray all your belongings are in great shape and that your lives soon return to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Glad to hear things are sounding promising. I'll still keep you on the prayer list. After you get settled in you may need to hunt one of these down http://www.gibson.com/Products/Acoustic-Instruments/Square-Shoulder/Gibson-Acoustic/Firebird-Custom.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse_Dylan Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Yikes... Knew about the fires and evacuations and such of course but did not catch the post about your involvement. I will have to hunt it down now... Hope all is well. That is stressful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
