Your stockings sound fantastic. I am relaxing right now after our doings. Have Thanksgiving coming up... kids have this huge pumpkin that we are going to convert into pies. Should be fun. Probably get started on that in the next few weeks.
Right now I am busy working on an afghan for my friend who should be back from Afghanistan in a couple of weeks (according to his most recent communique).
Hi, y'all! Belatedly checking in. I've had FReepmail with many of you, and am glad to report you've done a fantastic job for Kirkuk. I think everything they asked for is covered.
For the stocking group: LakeLady is sending 20 stockings, along with lots of other goodies. That will help tremendously with the stocking quota. Thanks so much!
PatriciaRuth, I bought lots of candy canes and miscellaneous items, and will repack the box you sent me and have it off to Kirkuk tomorrow afternoon.
Potlatch, your contribution went towards candy canes, garlands, and a wreath. Hope this is okay with you. I still haven't taken your check to the bank! Promise I'll deposit it soon though.
Our contact in Kirkuk has been on leave and should return in the next few days. I bet he's going to be thrilled to see the pile of boxes he has to open.
Let me know if any of you need anything. FReepmail me if it's time sensitive -- I don't always have time to check my pings, but will make an effort to check this thread more often over the next week. I know we'll all be very busy late Tuesday night celebrating W's victory!
