Today our soldier is much on our mind. Is he safe? Is he out in the field? On Saturday we made up a box to send along to the blogging Grandma at Camp Adder. Soaps, shampoos, a couple of McDonald's toys found around the house. All items will be ditributed to civilians around and near Adder. Am hoping the blogging Grandma may run into Cris and let us know how he is doing. He does write but never often enough for us. He has only been gone a short time but it feels like forever from here.

Gonna send along several dozen boxes of Girl Scout cookies for him and his friends as soon as we know he has settled in.

We have volunteered for the Peace Corps. Apparently it is not easy to find an assignment for a couple (in their sunset years). No luck getting an assignment during the October 05 sweep and no luck for the Feb 06 effort. Next try is May of 06. We'll see what happens. Our contact says that he expects a number of openings that will match our "skills" during May. Got my fingers and toes crossed.

My Dad and Stepmother served when he was in his late 60s. They really enjoyed the experience and felt as though they contributed. We are hoping for the same opportunity. 27 months of challenge. I look forward to representing the US in a positive upbeat manner. Hopefully we will have something somebody needs. We'll see.
