: I received a phone call about 30 minutes ago from the Geneva saying there had been a fire, and they were closing for a couple of weeks for repairs. The first report was that though they expected to be open by the time we arrive, they did not expect to be able to use the West Apartment, the jacuzzi room, and maybe the conference room! ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH! I was in total shock, just kinda numbly writing down the places the gal said they would move us to. BUT...I called back a few minutes ago & talked to the owner who has been checking the damage firsthand, and it seems most of the serious damage was confined to the laundry room (who needs clean clothes while there anyway?), and the area where she and her husband live. There is some damage to the West Apartment, but she's very optimistic that it will be taken care of quickly, so we shouldn't have to move. If not, she will put us in 3 Riverside rooms for the same price. And Belinda, you'll be happy to know you can still relax in your romantic jacuzzi! It wasn't badly damaged after all. The conference room is definitely smoked up, but should be fine by June, too. They have a lot of electrical problems to deal with, and will be closed a day or two, but are hoping to be open again by this weekend.

: Bottom line: we shouldn't be impacted too badly by this, but Vickie and her husband could use a kind thought or two & some prayers from we Mohicanlanders. She was pretty shook up when I talked to her, and said that the only thing keeping her spirits up was the HOPE that there would be LOINCLOTHS to look forward to in June! ;o) I assured her there would be some, so don't let Vickie (and me) down, guys!

: My, how things can change in a MINUTE, eh?

MMMMarcia,

Perhaps you could give us the URL for 'The Geneva' website, and we could drop an email to them, expressing our concern for them and wishing them well. (I had it 'bookmarked' but you know how I lost all that!).

I know from experience that having a fire is a totally devastating exprience, psychologically, as well as environmentally. BUT, thankfully, no one was hurt. That's the MAIN thing!!

'Clean clothes'??? 'WASHING' clothes??? So - who was the 'nutter' thinking of doing laundry while at a Gathering??!!! Come on, 'play the white man' here, MMMMiss!! I think we have a right to know who this person with the twisted idea of what 'Gathering' entails, is!!! C'mon, MMMMiss, we HAVE the right to know what kind of people we shall be living with, in quite *personal* circumstances!!... *doing laundry... *mutter, mutter*... whoever heard the like... *mutter*...*total nutter!*... *sneer*...

Kate.
