Maybe I'll go to work for the post office since I spend so much time there and they all know me now.

LOL! My post office just sees me as more hard work for them to do when I step into the lobby with hubby or some nice male bystander hauling in the boxes from the car.

Thanks for the suggestions. The noodle soup is a great one. I hear the weather is starting to turn, but will still be cold at night for another month maybe, so someone may want to send some while it will still be welcome.

They must burn off a ton of calories with all the work they do, so they must be hungry all the time when exhaustion isn't killing their appetites. It's too bad beef jerky is so expensive. Lots of protein is necessary for maintaining their muscle strength.

God bless them all.

It had not even occurred to me until tonight when one of my husband's friends came over and suggested I try a sporting good store. We have a very large one here that caters to fishing and hunting supplies. He told me it was a lot cheaper there than regular stores. I thought it was a great idea, I had just never thought of it before. Thankfully it is close by so I can go check it out.

I have to admit I got a chuckle visualizing you going to your post office. You have been doing this for so long and I know how much you send out. Do you ever wonder if they draw straws when they see you coming, lol.
