Hi! Stopping by from the southern bloggers link up!
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband comes home soon! My husband is a former deployed twice. This list reminds me how it feels to have him so far away.
Love your Claddagh tattoo by the way.
Hi there...My hubby did 2 deployments so I wanted to let you know about a few of the items you have on your list.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many people sending stuff that some of these items are really truly not needed. Books for instance, they received thousands of books a month. It is the same with the word search and crossword puzzle books. Chocolate while really appreciated melts in the heat and is quite messy. Hard candy, gum & mints are the best.
