I've been putting on the masterlists the packages that were mailed out while I've been busy with Mom.

After closely reading the contents of your box sent to Mosul near the end of September, I had really good laugh.

Our contact there mentioned the "eclectic" contents of the packages received, and when I saw you had sent him a back scratcher and a shower curtain, I got a big kick out of it.

I nominate you for most imaginative packer of the year! Keep up the good work. The guys there really need some fun in their lives, and I want them looking forward to what you will think up next to send.

I'm glad you like my boxes! One of the young men I had adopted several months ago really enjoyed those items. He told me that they used the shower curtains for room dividers! These folks are a very creative lot and I think they find ways to use almost anything....Haven't heard what they think about the backscratcher. It's one of those rough things you can use in the shower! I'm glad to know that the packages are getting through...
