OCD info: I found disposable brownie pans 9.5" x 7" that fit perfectly in our box with room to...

add some padding. I'm going to use it for bar cookies and brownies, just putting the entire pan in the box.

I also picked up half a dozen Claxton fruitcakes. I don't like them myself, but I'm sure they will provide a good childhood holiday memory for our soldiers.

In fact, there is a remote possibility that these fruitcakes may be the SAME ONES that existed during their childhood.

arrived here almost two weeks ago.

I ordered them on Oct. 30 and got a confirmation letter. It said it would take>>>

7 to 10 days and this Monday will be 2 weeks. I don't know if they count Sunday's in that and I don't know if there is a large distribution or not. I'll try and catch my mailman on Monday. He's a good guy and will probably help me out.
