I know! Nobody can relax like a cat ... even Wednesday!

Our girls had a collection jar for cookies for the troops, too. It’s really nice that so many people want to contribute. My brother said they loved getting Girl Scout cookies when he was in Saudi Arabia!

I can’t imagine being so far from home, fighting an “unpopular war”, and not being able to get things from home that make you feel like a real person.

I knitted a dozen “watch caps” in camo, and have them ready to send out. I knit headbands (ski-type) too, but I think the troops need more warmth. I knit them in medium and large, so they fit most everyone, including the females.

If you want, I can knit up a bunch for your GS Troop...they would be welcome, I’m sure.

AND! I also knit and crochet “watch caps” for low-birth-weight babies, and take them to the local hospital...about a mile from here. Some are even in camo!!
