What a brave soul! I guess when God gives you an earthquake he also gives you time to catch up on your crocheting. Bless her heart.

What an amazing lady! I'm sure the crocheting helped wile away the time until she was rescued.

Well, I guess is you're 'sitting' around, not doing much (said tongue in cheek), might as well be productive, eh?? Wow, what a story!

Talk about a virtuous woman keeping her hands busy! Wow, what a mentor she must be to women in her life. Blessings to her Lord.
