PS--I've also heard that you can get packages easily here. Simply make sure that the packages are wrapped and taped very securely. Some items that we cannot get easily here: AAAA batteries, good coffee that doesn't taste burnt!!, Coffeemate powdered creamer (vanilla or hazelnut--yes I know this is frivolous but gimme a break--I take a shower standing in a bucket!!!), ziplock bags (large and small), kitchen towels (not white), chocolate chips, deodorant, and hand sanitizer (which is needed very much!)
Posted by Shawna at November 13, 2003 04:18 AMHow wonderful to hear from you! Thanks for the tips on what to send. I'll work on getting some little things together. I love this being able to see notes from you. We will continue praying for each of you. Hope the boys are doing well. I am going to try to email you some pictures from Casey's birthday. We love you!

PS - Now that you are gone and as luck would have it I am able to ride my bike on the road. And why do you walk for an hour when you can ride?

Posted by: CHAD SIMPSON at November 17, 2003 09:48 PMSONNY-BOY! Just found your web site and caught up on the latest news. Sharon and Junior are off to Wally World to generate a care package, should get it started your way early next week. We are questioning the need for "AAAA" (4-A) size batteries!?! Give us more detail on this need, we are not familiar with this size. Hunting season is here, and Bambi is still batting 1,000. All that I have killed at Dog Patch is time. No fresh meat for Thanksgiving, hope to change that soon. We survived our last Accreditation review, all went exceptionally well, but cold in Colorado Springs (14 degrees in the morning)! We took 8 people, ate buffalo (bison) and got fat. My Bronco is still in control of my budget - had some engine work completed to make it run smoother, then lost either a universal joint or rear end, have not had it diagnosed yet. Wanna buy a GOOD used ride ??? Cheap ??? NOW ???
