As a wife of a soldier I know it will be greatly appreciated. They all love and crave any taste of home. My husband said when he was over there that some soldiers don't really get any care packages from home. I always sent extra goodies but this really tops it all. A very noble gesture!
Phooey, fudge and darn! WHY didn't I think of disposable cameras for the quilt shipping boxes while I was at Walmart this
morning??!! I just hate the thought of going back there, LOL! It hurts me so to walk it. Sigh.
Suck it up and do it, Jan, even though you've been to the bank - inside the lobby, the newspaper office to make an appointment for an interview about us, lunch, and the National Guard - and walked all over that huge building and parking lot to their outbuildings (with a gorgeous young Sergeant, so not *too* bad :-o ) this morning already.
To the post office this afternoon.

Sorry you have to do more walking but if you get the disposable cameras before you send the quilts off and put it in with the box you wont regret it. Make sure you tell your son in law that you put the cameras in there and what they are for so they don't accidentally get over looked or missed in the quilts.
My hubby and I are PCSing soon so I don't have the time to make any tops but are you taking donations for shipping? I know how expensive it is to ship over there especially when you can't use a flat rate box. Let me know. Or if you would rather I could send some fabric for backing or to make a top or something.
