I still remember the days before Jay Solo met Deb. Heck, I remember when Deb was “the Accidental Jedi”, and I remember how neat it was when their blogs led them down the wedding aisle. Three children later — yes, three! — they’re still going strong.

Except that, as I know all too well, even the strongest people sometimes encounter bumps in the road. Why, a few years ago when a bicycle accident knocked out my front teeth, both Jay and Deb — along with hundreds of others — chipped in to by my new fangs.

Now it’s my turn to repay the kindness. Jay and Deb need help keeping their power on, either through donations or purchases of Deb’s beautiful crochet pieces at their online store.

Because, let’s face it, they can’t blog without power, much less see their beautiful children smile.
