OK, I’m gonna backpedal on my last request. I thought we would be heading farther north again but it looks at least for the time being that we’ll be staying put.
So, you can keep those care packages coming! But, everyone here has plenty of toiletries to last us for several months, so we really don’t need any more. Here’s a list of hot-ticket items that really hit the spot here in the middle of the desert:
Drink mixes — Gatorade, Kool-Aid, etc. I like Country Time raspberry lemonade, tropical punch Kool-Aid, and Raspberry Ice Crystal Light. Oh yeah, and instant coffee.
Snacks — stuff like Pringles, chex mix, or anything that leaves an orange residue on the fingers. I like anything cheez or ranch flavored!
Cookies, other baked goods, etc. — we aren’t really all that picky!
And thanks to everyone who sent AA batteries; I have probably close to 100 right now so I should be doing fine!
Thanks again to everyone who’s sent stuff, it’s really appreciated! Like I said before, just cards and letters are always nice too; I’m not sure how much longer I’ll have the luxury of email!
