April Fool's Day! Original Post-01 April 2007

Happy April Fool's Day! I am sure we all know a "fool" we would like to surprise today! We have talked with our soldier today. The first time since Monday. He is doing good, said they are all working hard. Told us not to worry, that they are safe...and that the chow is good.
It is about 80 degrees in Iraq right now. Not too bad on the temperature he said...I said with the body armour and helmets on though, it must be pretty warm. Then I thought-at least it isn't 128 with the body armour on! Hopefully he will be home and not have to endure another summer there. I pray every day for that, but am so afraid that his unit, like so many other units will be extended. We don't talk about it, but I am sure it must be on his mind also...
This week has been a crazy week. I am still working hard on our new website www.loveboxes4u.com and have begun the website www.jerky4yourtroops.org This website endeavor is a labor of love. Our family came up with the idea of having jerky donated by hunters across America which we would then send to soldiers in the battle field. The first thing any soldier asks for is "jerky". So we have begun this project to send the troops what they want...this is a huge endeavor, but we believe that we can make it work with the help and outpouring of support from the general public...to see that all soldiers receive quality-made in the USA jerky for their pure enjoyment...
So, with all this website work, I have been pretty crazy...irritable, and just darn right frustrated! Nothing ever works like it should and when you have someone like me trying to figure new concepts out, it is never an easy task! My favorite saying now, is "I am old"-like that will really make a difference! LOL!
But, I just keep trying and soon enough it will all fall into place.
With that I will close for today...remember...hug your children, & say an "extra prayer for America's Super Heroes!"
Head down
eyes open
I love you
