The First Box is Out the Door

Here are the first of the woolies
going to Frida.



I spread everything out and then Don came in behind me and rolled everything for packing. He's a great packer. Legendary in fact. The man can load a C-130 transport and, in fact, has.

We have about half of what you see here in the first box. I'm bringing another box home from work tomorrow. The second box will go out on Thursday.


It's amazing how much you can get into one smallish box when you pack it right. Being somewhat cautious, I covered up our receiver's address however I can tell you that our receiving angel is a civilian worker with a Lithuanian army unit.

This writer is absolutely right and I was careless. I went in this morning and cropped the pictures. In fact, I was probably doing so when she/he was writing this comment. My apologies to anyone I have upset.

H-mmm,I have a knitted hat to add to someone's box!
Truly, I'm sure I could find a needy recipient here since I missed out on the shipment.
It is very cold outside and more snow is coming!
The box is amazing and I'm sure the recipient will be thankful!

What a wonderful sight seeing all these lovely knitted pieces going to such an important need.

I wish I could send you as much as I can find but you know it is summer here and I have look around and found none except second hand and I am sure you do not wish to ahve any of those at this stage do you.

You know there are many angels on this earth and you dear friend are one I just know it.

Blessings to you.
