Thank you for your Pings, Dear Sister in our Lord, and I'm Praying for our Savior's Comfort to be with the Families who have Lost their Loved Ones.

Hi Patty!

Update - we moved and my computer connection was dismantled for some time but, were up now!

I sent a Valentine package that included 100 Valentines (from my daughter’s fourth grade Girl Scout troop), Valentine pillows, 100 heart suckers, chicklettes gum, and other Valentine items.

Couple points of interest -

The Girl Scouts have a cookie special this year called “Troop 2 Troop.” The girls can take orders/donations for cookies for the troops in Iraq - the Girl Scout Council sends the troops the cookies to a pre arranged contact. Very cool! Our girls did so well in pre-sale orders for our service men and women that they all earned an extra badge for the vests!
So, if you see a Girl Scout selling cookies next month ask her if you can buy a box for our troops or I can help if anyone wants to contribute or has any questions.
Hugs to you,
Lisa

Hi, Patty,

With Easter coming at us, I finally got my act together and managed to get two boxes off today to the NPTT unit in Baghdad. I used the new large flat rate boxes — really like them.

Each box contained:

1 bag Tootsie products
1 bag Reese’s peanut butter eggs
4 packages Peeps chicks
1 bag marshmallow chicks and bunnies
1 bag large Robin eggs, chocolate filled
1 bag mini Robin eggs, malted milk filled
1 bag Cadbury mini eggs
1 bag Hershey miniatures
1 bag pastel candy corn
8 plastic eggs containing a Lindt chocolate bunny
1 wind-up chick/1 wind-up rabbit
1 package of capsules which expand into animals when water is added (thought maybe they could share these with the kids)

I packed it all in green Easter grass.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

Yes, quiet here; but we have been active.

SENClander, Enterprise, manna, jtill, airborne, Kitty Mittens and I sent packages to our units for Valentines and Easter, but I’ve been too busy to post them. Hope to do it right after Easter.

Hi, my Dear Sister in Christ; it's a Joy to See you in my Pings! I Pray you and your Husband and Sweet Mother have been Well. Spring is Here at my Shepherd-King's Ranch, with Several Wildflowers Bursting into Bloom, and the Grass in the Pasture is Beginning to Turn Green Again. With the Exasperated-Sounding, Lol, Song of the Phoebe Heard Daily, it's just a Beautiful Time of the Year!
