Whew – Back on the Blog Again
Sorry I was very busy for awhile and unable to write. Nothing eventful just busy with jarhead stuff.
However, in the last week I got lots of care packages from CA to FL to around eastern PA. When on TQ, I share a workspace with 5 other Marines so if you send any packages please know I will share everything except jellybeans. Those are mine!
Good stuff: Socks, beef jerky, healthy snacks, energy bars, personalized cards, and of course the jellybeans.
Not so good stuff: things that melt in 100 degree heat, Girl Scout cookies (they all melt believe it or not), cans that easily puncture (lost a whole package due to beef stew), and please please please no more salsa or hot sauce.
Oh and for the goofball that sent me lip balm with sparkles I know who you are!
The best gifts are of course the handmade cards and letters from school children. If you have any schools or church groups that wish to write please feel free to send them to me so I can pass them around. The Marines really do read them and we find many rather humorous.
Thanks again for all your gracious donations.
