I have been busy this morning boxing things up for Texana Red. I am sending some dishes, pots and pans, silverware, linens and clothes.

I can only imagine how horrible it would be to lose everything in a flood or fire.

I also included a Bed Bath and Beyond gift basket with a card from all of us at The Guild. I felt it was the least we could do. I will go look for more things to send. Texana Red has to start from scratch.

I am waiting to hear when she will be in her temporary home before I send things. The post office will be holding her mail, but I don't want to take advantage of the situation. If any of you would like to send household items, let me know and I will send you her address.

We all have so many blessings but one of our biggest blessings is the ability to take away the pain of others.

Well that is simply wonderful of you! Outstanding work.
Here's some flowers I swiped from grannie9's yard in NH, just for you. ;-)

I sent her a note and a check for $50, it's about as much as I can afford right now. I cannot even imagine having to start completely from scratch or watching your house crumble.

for Texana Red. I am sending some dishes, pots and pans, silverware, linens and clothes.

Good idea. I sent her a check, but have many nice outfits I could send if her size is same as mine. Do you know her size?

You are something! What a wonder! Yes, good ideas all for Texanna Red. Can't we do something like hold a cyber yard sale to raise money for her (I know, I know - that's what ebay does). I need organization, I need plans. Yours are good ones - thank you! Gift certificates are great ideas! It would be good if we could get a picture of the house swept away and post it and maybe have an ongoing thread for Texanna Red - but I am not much at doing a daily thread....maybe others will have better ideas. Thanks again. (Maybe a link to the thread about Texanna's situation where she responds --- on the Guild every day?)
