Preparation

The last couple days have been tough trying to decide how to spend the money in a way that we are going to get the most mileage out of it. Without going into much detail, we were given some good advice from people who know what they're talking about. They were able to point us in a direction that would best suit the families. We came up with a package that would able them to buy gifts as well as food. How much in each gift card depended on the size of the family.

Through much help the admiral was able to compile a list of families that needed it most. The families have been notified that we will be coming and will be expecting us tomorrow evening.

For me this experience has been an eye opener. You really don't understand how hard it is for some people this time of year. Some of the stories that I've heard are really hard to believe. I've never thought about not having heat for christmas....or having nothing to eat. We just take so much for granted.

Again thank to all who have so generously given to help a few families at christmas. This just goes to show that by even giving 20 bucks each we can make a difference. We will be delivering the packages tomorrow night on behalf of the Tdisc and it's fans. It's pretty exciting stuff.

Today we went for a run minus bull patterson. Bull has gone home for christmas. We wish bull safe travels and a merry christmas.

On behalf of Tdisc and Bloggingwithtdisc.blogspot.com i'd just like to wish Alex Bain a happy 22nd birthday.

Till next time,
TDP
