WHAT’S HAPPENIN’?

submitted by: Laura Hawke

My Hun is in the military and is frequently away and longing for home. So I have come up with with this little idea for him.

Since he so much wants to see what is going on around home, and gets bored a lot, I take pictures of me, the pets or things happening at home (like changing trees for fall/snow/spring flowers etc.) and I get them blown up to 5 X 7 pictures. then I get kiddy puzzles and mount them and then cut them out. Then I mail one piece a day to him everyday when he is gone.

This way he has something to look forward to in the next day’s mailbag and gets a look at what he loves and misses. Often in each “Surprise piece” I also put in candies or other little romantic things to think about. Boy it works too. He has pictures and other little surprises each and everyday he is far away from home.
