Just checked Novella's blog and she's reached the goal to cover the cost of the permit. Hooray! It sounds like she is doing okay emotionally as well--I think having a good lawyer on her side and very supportive neighbors is helping. I'm glad!
That's great! I told all I knew to go to her site, and posted her link on FB. Hoping all thing turn around for her, and she sees tons of rewards for her work and efforts!!(((hugs))) thanks for the update.
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.
