I have to admit, I am seriously grateful to the residents of Nevada County 30 miles east of where I live who opened their fairgrounds to evacuees, both displaced residents and their pets.
The organizers, in conjunction with the fairgrounds, would post on Facebook what their needs were, and within an hour, those needs were met with overwhelming generosity. On the thirteenth, a local elementary visited and delivered hand made valentines and helped kids make their own mailboxes for other valentines, and a middle school showed up on Valentine’s Day and brought small gifts for all the evacuees.
Sometimes it was overwhelming. The call went out for blankets and the Red Cross was buried in them within 45 minutes. Larger kennels were needed for small animals, and within an hour stacks of them were delivered. (as well as enough pet food to start a pet store.)
And this was apparently repeated throughout the northern counties.
So does it surprise me that a wedding was arranged? Not in the slightest. It would have surprised me if it wasn’t arranged.
“On the thirteenth, a local elementary visited and delivered hand made valentines...”
I read where in some Minneapolis grade-school they didn’t allow valentines so as to be sensitive to the muslims.
I was just telling my kids that this sort of small-town community helping each other out is what we had before relying on big government to do it. Which goes hand-in-hand with the U.N. Agenda 21 to get everybody to live in big cities so we will want even more big government.
What a wedding to remember - for ALL of those involved!
