Hello all. After my hectic summer break I have gotten together a group of troop packages again. Really cool news is that while I was back home in Waco earlier this summer I visited the used bookstore where I used to hang out. I was telling 'em about the troop packages and they wanted to help. I ended up with over 100 paperback books to send with the packages!
In addition to the paperbacks, I was up in Oklahoma on the reservation a couple of weeks ago and heard some guys talking about sharing magazines with one another. I overheard one of the group of men tell another that everyone had read a certain group of magazines so they could be thrown in the trash. hehehe... I stepped right up, told them about the troop packages and asked if I could have them. They are mostly horse and rodeo type magazines. I made arrangements to return there every couple of weeks to pick up more magazines from those guys too. They are happy to be donating them to the troops.
And, I took a break from the beginning of school madness and made it over to Sam's and WalMart to spend the funds ($70) I have received since the last troop shipments on the usual goodies. We have beef jerky, chex mix, Little Debbies, ramen noodles, assorted candies, lemonade mix, gum, honey, lotions, shampoos, soap... and I think that mostly covers it.
I have been inundated with work so I haven't packaged it up to mail yet. I will be working on that in the next couple of days. Just wanted to let ya'll know that we're about to be sending out more packaged love to the guys.
