If you haven't seen this post (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/paganwarriors/1643.html)

Please check it out! I'm going to be getting a package together to send to the 3 soldiers after this week. I'm going to be baking cookies, gathering magazines like Sport Illustrated, etc., sending some goodies that won't melt in transit.

My husband had a great idea. Some of the handheld electronic games (poker, yahtzee, etc) at Walmart are not very expensive and small to send. The guys would enjoy them. I'm also going to be enclosing a letter to them. That way they get a sense of who we are etc. Hopefully it'll start a penpal system. :)

Anyhow, please visit the post. In the comments are the names of the guys and also a little bit of what we are not allowed to send. :)

Blessed Be and happy Beltaine!

Ack! MANY APOLOGIES!!!

Sorry for not updating, its been crazy with the end of my law school career/finals. Mainly been commenting when something grabs my attention more than posting.

Got news of a "secret" type nature that the boys MAY be coming home at the end of May. *ahem* So any boxes shipped may not be enjoyed before they leave. (just got this news two days ago, so I'm not THAT far behind in passing it on I guess!)

Will see if there are others at the base that may be staying. Hard to get the bro-in-law to reply to anything that isn't of a technical nature. We're pretty sure something has happened thats bugging him. So will update you on that as soon as we can get an answer out of him. PROMISE!

*bowing lots in an apologetic nature*

More Updatage!

Ok! So apparently you all can still send boxes to the addresses and names I sent.

Bro-in-law said that if the soldier isn't there when the box arrives, the people on the base just parce it out to those on base. So SOMEBODY gets to enjoy the contents of the box.

So go ahead and send stuff if you want. No pork, no 10 packs of bibles, no porn (unless you get inventive like we did). No homemade products unless there are preservatives in them because they seem to go bad on the planes over.

Otherwise, small games, candy, etc are all great!
