We all have seen the devestating pictures of the horrile damage the tornadoes did in the south last week, people left with nothing who wil struggle to rebuild for many years. I belong to another forum group called As a Mom who has been organizing a donation for the children. It is called Blankets, Books and Buddies to help return a small bit of normalcy and comfort to the children who have lost so much. I thought I would share it with my farmgirl sisters and let you know it is out there. They ask that you send gently used books, new blankets and stuffed animals. They can be sent to:

Christian Service Mission
3600 3rd AAve South
Birmingham, AL 35222

Here is the web site of the church that is spearheading it:: http://www.churchofthehighlands.com/relief

Lets show the rest of the country what we farmgirls can do.
