It was a very special moment when Yvonne gave Evie her refurbished lamps. When we were here in February Evie gave us a tour of the area and on that tour she showed us her home ...... or that is what was left of it. Just a slab of concrete and a set of steps and a pile of some of the things she and neighbors found strewn all over the neighborhood. In that pile we saw a couple of table lamps. Of course the wiring was shot because it was all under salt water and the bases were broken and water damaged as well. No shades ...... well you get the idea, but the ceramic bases were not broken which was amazing seeing as one of the lamps was found hundreds of feet from the house under a chain link fence that was knocked down by a fallen tree. The FEMA clean up crews saved the lamp for Evie when they were bulldozing the remains of her house and she put them on the pile of the few last remains of her home. When Yvonne saw that she asked Evie if she could take the lamps back to Wisconsin and return them in a month when we returned in March. She said OK and Yvonne had them repaired, refinished and added new shades and they are like new. When Evie saw them ... Tears and hugs were shared. There is a lot of LOVE going on around here, that's for sure.
