westbrook Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I don't talk much about my sons.. I have two sons in the Army. #1 son is back in california for 1 year in advanced arabic. #2 son is now serving his second tour in the middle east. His first tour last year was in Afghanistan, this tour is in Iraq. This son is an RN. #2 son wants cookies, cookies and more cookies!!! ya think he likes cookies? so if anyone has a favortie cookie recipe I would love to make them and send them to him. I will be posting recipes I send so others can try new recipes. I mean I can't send the same recipe each week. Did I mention he wants cookies every week? and have I mentioned I have to send enough for everyone? Link to comment

PoGo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 These sound wonderful. Westbrook, how many dozens does it take, to be enough for everyone? Link to comment
zinger Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 My sons are not military and I would LOVE to help out with this!! Let us know how to take care of it Westie! Link to comment
westbrook Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 he will love it. he hasn't sent his address yet, I emailed him but who knows what access he has. He will send a letter (manditory) to parents with address. I know his last tour it was 3 months before we found out where he was. Link to comment
Snowmom Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 That is a long time before knowing where he is. It didn't take that long when Jerry went over. I think he called either us or his wife within a day of getting over there. Being an RN might make a lot of difference though, as he will be busy if there are any people needing help. I'll be for his safety, Wes. Link to comment
