Troop Packages!!!

Okay, I've only got photos of 2 troop packages this morning cause I only had 2 customs forms here. Have the ingredients for 5 more troop packages after I take these to the post office and get more customs forms. I chose these 2 soldiers first based on special things.

First one is to my friend Marty's daughter, a marine in Afghanistan. Since Marty was here this weekend she helped me choose what went in Debra's package.

You may note that in the middle of this package, amidst the candy filler is a ziplock bag with 2 bottles of nail polish. It seems our little lady Marine is sorely missing having her toenails painted! We are remedying that! :-)

dunno what gnad's gonna think of that though!

And another surprise for Debra, since her mom was here for several days, I took photos and she'll get some surprise photos of her mom when she opens the box. :-)

The other special package for the morning I packed for PE and msdrby's friend Lt. Paul. Since babygirl is being born today, I sent this with a note letting Lt. Paul know that it was happening while I was fixing up the box for him. Hopefully, this will bring a more special "touch" from home. :-)

Soon as I run these to the post office I will start getting the other 5 packages ready and post some photos later today or tomorrow of those!

Thanks Hobbit Hole for all this support!

I forgot!

Yeah!

Dolly "Pippin" Madison!

Thar's what Billie calls me over at FR's Finest!

[RosieCotton]

No offense intended--not that there's anything wrong with being a Hobbit, of course. . .

Harrumph! I should hope not!

What news from the (maternity) ward? Tell us everything!

[Pippin]

I'm a hobbit! :O)

[Fedora]

That's why we haven't had an invasion of Dem's here in the Shire!

Exactly! As travellers scowl at us and give us scornful names, the Hobbit Hole lies within a URL's march of foes that would freeze the heart, if it were not guarded ceaselessly.

[Wneighbor]

No maternity ward news yet! The messenger elf here is anxiously awaiting word. We just know it's *happening* Cell phone is only a foot from my typing left hand! :-)

[Fedora]

Harrumph! I should hope not!

LOL! Actually I believe it was determined I was probably Hobbit when I arrived in the Hole, but I like pretending to switch races periodically so I can mess with everyone equally :) But I'm just funning with ya! Nice Hobbitses!

[Pippin]

Thanks for keeping the liberal DNA from us! :O)

[Fedora]

I'm a hobbit! :O)

And a fine one at that, Master Took :) As for me, I'm a bur--a hobbit!

[Pippin]

Master Took?

LOL!

I'm a She-Hobbit! :O)

[Fedora]

Thanks for keeping the liberal DNA from us! :O)

At your service! :) Of course Gondor has also been a stalwart tower. By the blood of Bakshi Boromir are these walls kept safe!

[Pippin]

GROOVY!

[Fedora]

I'm a She-Hobbit! :O)

I know that :) But I was reluctant to say "Mistress Took" on account'a Pippin was always referred to as Master Took, so for lack of a more appropros title I was hopin' you'd let me get away with a small faux pas. Sheesh, such technical Hobbitses around here! It was just a bit of fun!--don't turn me into anything unnatural! :)

[Corin Stormhands]

but I like pretending to switch races periodically...

We don't do that stuff around here. Maybe you wuz lookin' fer Dumbocrat Underground...

[Fedora]

Troop packages look good! :)

[Fedora]

Maybe you wuz lookin' fer Dumbocrat Underground...

That's just past Cirith Ungol, right? Or is that where you end up if you take a left turn at Albuquerque?--I can never remember. . .

[Fedora]

GROOVY!

Like, groovy!

Zoinks!
