Packing Party

Yesterday we got together at Luana's house to pack boxes for 67 of our military family and friends currently deployed. We had a great time, shared lots of laughs, and a couple bottles of wine. With donations from a Harley Group, stockings from Common Threads quilt Guild, cute jars of BBQ sauce, toiletries donated from friends, we were able to fill those boxes full.
