packages of care

nick's been gone almost 6 of the 9 weeks (but who's counting...) and before he left i tucked a little paper mache box that was wrapped in 8 different colored thread or ribbon. the idea was for him to remove one thread each week, and that would be the color of the package we'd be sending that week. once all the threads/ribbons were gone, then he could look inside the box and read a note of encouragement about coming home. it's been just as fun for us to peruse the grocery store looking for colored items. i thought light blue would be a hard week, but look at all the things we found!

Thanks for the kind words that you left at my blog Jodi! I have the Olefin mats for inside and out. For the outside I purchased the smallest size, but for the inside it is recommended that the rug be large enough for 2 steps, so I ordered the 3'x4' size. You certainly don't have to order from him, they might be sold at a store near you, but I couldn't find them. The rugs look as new today as they did more than 20 years ago!! Have a great day!
