I'm so sorry to hear that your home had so much damage but I'm glad you weren't there. My in-laws have a Naples address but they're actually very far south of the city proper. They came through just fine, believe it or not. We were worried when they didn't evacuate but they say they will for the next storm. I hope you and your family are well and you're making some progress toward normalcy, whatever form that might take. ♥️Jen at Introverted Readerhttps://introvertedreader.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-26302228890556448542022-12-04T14:44:41.774-05:002022-12-04T14:44:41.774-05:00I'm so sorry.
