But in the West, the rules aren't always played according to Hoyle. The only men staving off total chaos are the few who take the letter of the law at its word and risk their lives to uphold it. And the law is written in the blood of those who came before. The concept that a man may only kill if backed into a corner is antiquated. The line between heroes and villains is narrow and indistinct. Several locals are bringing children's clothing, and I hope to get all of this to them before Christmas.īy the close of 1882, the inhabitants of the American West had earned their reputation as untamed and dangerous. I cleared off our desktop computer, which is admittedly about 5 years old, and I plan to donate it. I took several of the bitty's presents which are unopened and intend to send them as well. How freaking awesome is that? (The odd number is due to conversion rates *g*)Īs far as physical donations, I have gone through my closet, my daughter's toys, and my husband's closet to gather some clothing, shoes, and coats. And I haven't checked my mail today and I know I'm expecting several more cards. But to this point, WE have collected $624.42 in gift cards, Paypal donations, and checks. That's an entire building of AT&T workers. My aunt's work group collected $200 for them and also delivered 'an enormous amount of clothing, toys, and household items'. Also, everyone was more than grateful for our (that AT&T workplace) help. Terrence was excited about getting back to work and getting things back to normal. The doctors are really hopeful for a speedy recovery for her because she is so young and her skin is healing really well which should allow for minimal scaring. Both boys who were admitted to the hospital due to problems with smoke inhalation are home and Terrence (the dad) said his daughter is expected to come home before Christmas. An update on the Brady family: Everyone is doing well.
