Travis Erwin House Fire

I’m about a week behind finding this out, but my friend Travis Erwin (founder of My Town Monday) and his family suffered a huge loss on January 4 when their home in Amarillo, Texas burned to the ground. Travis, his wife and young sons are alive and well, thank God. They lost all of their possessions as well as their home.


Erica Orloff and friends started a Habitat for Travis blog, and you can donate there by buying a brick at a time, if you’ve a mind to do so.

Bloggers are givers – and I know that if you’re able, you will give.

How awful for their family. Texans AND bloggers are a giving bunch of folks. I'll head over there after this.

Love the new signature! It sure sounds like a good blog title to me!

Poor guy, I will head over too. I was reading your previous post and I am confused as to what you do in the oil patch? I love your new signature!

Marilyn - I'm a glorified salesperson in the wonderful world of the Oilpatch. Been selling for 23 years, almost 24. I can't believe it's been this long!

NikkiCrumpet - thank you, ma'am!

Kaci - it is, but they seem to be working hard at staying positive!
