@fiona...love the recipe website and have since shared it with friends. Thank you. So many wonderful recipes to try. Always happy to hear that you've heard from B and she is doing well. Cooling down here in California...I'm not a fan of the heat. Stay cool. Enjoy the weekend ladies.

And she will! lol Hope you all have a great day and I hope that we all get to hear from our sailors!!

@dogwalker SO glad your little girl got to see her daddy!!! Even if it is a picture, it sure eases the heart doesn't it? Your mom's package was probably on a different pallet I'm guessing?

My husband got my mom's box and still hasn't got any of mine! I sent mine out a few days before she did. I guess that's the luck of the draw though. My daughter got to see her dad in one of the photos and was so excited, THAT'S MY DADDY!!! she yelled right in my ear. But it's ok, it put a smile on her face.

Always great to see new photos. Happy for those of you that saw your sailors. They all know more goodies are coming. It probably won't be too much longer. Fiona, I'm always impressed at how deciplined B is. Wow! I'm getting hungry for your breakfast bars. I'll have to try your recipe. Have a great evening all. It's HOT here in California.

B got the package that was just full of writing paper/envelopes/pens now she can write to people/friends who do not have internet and then watch out when all the other packages arrive wow sugar hi although there is some healthy stuff in them cant remember what though! And next week I will be making the breakfast bars she was happy when i told her today i was sending a healthy snack package! B has been trying to exercise mostly doing ab crunches on the floor next to rack lol! Just walking up and down all the stairs did me in but I guess they get used to that! Well everyone have a good evening!

They actually posted a couple of pictures of my son's unit...I hope they take and post more. Still haven't heard from him as to whether he got mail this week or not. I'll tell you if he thinks that he doesn't have to say thank you I will just stop sending him stuff and send it to his buddies that do say thank you...that will teach him...lol
