In my absence, let's keep the blog going by listing in the comments section, ideas for care packages and I will collaborate with a list I will be making and will post on my return. It will be a grand posting as I have received wonderful ideas from many readers in past to which I will publish as well. Sooo... let's get creative, help each other and get our ideas out.
Godspeed to our soldiers.

small artifical xmas tree with lights & decorations
halloween candy (small packets good for sharing)
crystal light, kool-aid etc (individual packets)
books
travel games
kraft dinner (real stuff not the easy mac)
100 calorie snack packs - again good for sharing and easy to carry
books, magazines

instant hot apple drink
laundromat sized boxes of Tide
notecards with preaddressed envelopes (esp to the less computer savy relatives)
tim horton certificates for when in KAF
water bottles (hard plastic)

Hope all is well Rose. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Thanks so much for your input Debbie, Rick and Ann :) It will mean so much for other families and the soldiers at the receiving end of course.
I'm here for the night and I'm away again.I'll have the letter and entry composed on my return.
Once again thank you so much!
With Regards and warm thoughts
