1SG Winning, one of our “repeaters,” is back in Iraq for a year, and I’m getting his first care package put together. I’ll be sending homemade cookies soon; for now it’s comfort items and treats. He’s a big Steelers fan, so his first box will have a set of NFL sheets with Steelers logo on the pillowcase, a nice soft pillow, and a stuffed Steelers monkey. Also includes beef jerky, tropical blend trail mix, Smarties, Boston Baked Beans (candy), Sixlets (chocolate candy – melt resistant), toffee coated sunflower kernels, a box of Little Debbie Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal Pies, and the last three issues of the I-24 Exchange.
It’s been awhile since his last deployment, and I can’t remember if he likes or doesn’t like raisins. So I’m going to send him an e-mail and ask if he prefers raisins or chocolate chips before I bake cookies. If he says he likes both, I’ll buy both and bake a batch with raisins and another with chocolate chips. See, I’m easy to get along with…and I try to take good care of our Warriors.
It’s been a busy day, and I’m kinda running out of energy, so I guess I’d better wind this up before I fall asleep on the keyboard or something. Y’all take care, and thanks for reading my ramblings.
