My friends from college sent me a care package while I was working in Central America this Summer. The customs agent cracked up when he saw all the stamps on the package. Normally its just a sticker that says the amount of postage paid. I cut the top of the box off and kept as a souvenir or work of art.
I didn't realize how much I would miss North Carolina, and The South until I left it.
Students from St. Stephens Lutheran School turn donated goodies from North Carolina businesses into care packages at Hackney Service Merchandisers in Hickory, North Carolina for deployed North Carolina National Guard Soldiers via the NCNG Soldiers & Airmen Assistance Fund, Jan. 31, 2018. Members of Soldiers and Airmen Fund and retired NCNG leaders Air National Guard Col. Steven Martin and Army National Guard Sgt. Maj. Dennis Roach and Col. Drew Goodwin helped plan the event with Hickory businessman and retired Army Reserve Command Sgt. Maj. Dean Cline Sr. Hackney provided storage space for the $250,000 worth of snacks and comfort items. The 23 St. Stephens' students made quick work of loading up the nearly 500 care packages soon to be shipped to deployed NCNG Soldiers worldwide. Cline used years of experience in shipping and his business contacts to get donations for the packages. "You have to know how it works, connections mean everything," said Cline. In less than 2 hours the last package is taped shut, one for each deployed Soldier. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by Sgt. 1st Class Robert Jordan / Released)

In honor of Veteran's Day today I went out to shop for some items from a list supplied by a lady I see regularly when I meet friends for breakfast on Wednesdays. Her church is collecting these to distribute them for mailing to the young men and women in the service.

You may remember a few weeks ago that I mailed a package of monster cookies to my little sister who is away at music camp in North Carolina. Well they were a big, big hit, both with her and all her bunk mates. And even though I've had a crazy busy week at work and am just plain exhausted, I had to summon up the energy for another batch this week. Because my little sister is turning 18 on Saturday! I can't believe it! (And boy do I feel OLD!)
And just because I love her so very much, I had to throw in a dozen brownies as well. :)

Ah, all the goodies from the non-perishables aisle. Can you tell my mother is italian? (Yes, that's parm cheese on the right). Side note: if she EVER found all this stuff in my pantry at home, I'd have to prepare myself for at least a 30-minute lecture about high-sodium, high-carb food choices! :-)

During the conference, we collected socks & towels from the college students of Boston. Homeless shelters have often said that the 2 greatest needs that they have are socks & towels.
The towels are given to the homeless after they take showers. Often times the homeless will take the towels with them, thus this comes at a high cost for these organizations in order to replenish their supply. Socks are a need for the homeless, esp. during the colder months of the year.
These goodies were sent from some Aussie friends - lots of fun stuff!
These are cool - have no idea what they are. The were developed by the US space program though - says so on the box!
