I like the idea of small stuff now, big and useful stuff later (another thing to find out is which grocery stores she'll be using and whether or not they sell gift cards) for -t. Also, if we're doing a gift basket, could someone find out what little things her DH might like by way of snacks, etc.?

On edit: I'm also liking the idea of a cash gift to be used as needed.

Could someone e-mail me about where to send something for -t when it is known? I skip and skim a lot.

Jess, I think that's a real fire-place but sealed up.

We should all do what feels right. Perkins is going to get together a care package, send little things (and checks are physically little) to Perkins. I'm going to send her a card telling t about a virtual shower that we'll throw for here once they are resettled. I'll coordinate the shower.

I think nice treats and pick-me-ups now are a great idea. At this point, she and her family don't really have any idea what needs are most pressing for the long term, so I'd suggest we hold off for the time being on planning.

Noted.

Gud, Perkins is point person for care package stuff. You could e her for her address.

We're doing a Package for -t? I'm in. I gots a Borders gift card burning a hole in my pocket. Surely having access to books they don't have to pay for will be a cheerful thing.

Thanks

just had lunch with vw (and you didn't) and she has an interview for the cool job at school at 3pm EST. So if the potent Buffista job~ma could start flowing in about an hour or so...

Is -t's dog going with her to CA?
