Oh, you want to send us a care package?
That's so nice of you!
Seriously, though, we would be very happy to see some packages full of dry foods. We spent almost all of our money coming up here, and the sticker shock at the grocery store is killing us.
So, here's what we bought today: some kitchen trash bags, a big thing of lemonade mix and a plastic pitcher, american cheese, bologna, peanut butter, diced tomatoes, baby carrots and fig newtons. That was $50.47. Then we went to the other grocery, since we knew some things would be cheaper there. We bought a bag of chips, a small bottle of generic mustard, microwave popcorn, and two frozen pizzas. That was another $24.12. So that's $75 worth of food, here in Dillingham.
Here's what I'm getting at: I'm sure some of you lovely people are missing us. So if you really want to, go to the Dollar Store and see what you can send us. We'd love some ice trays, some more microwave popcorn, laundry detergent, fruit snacks, assorted candy, and well, whatever seems like it would be lightweight and ship well. Just bear in mind, you've got to send it by US Mail PRIORITY MAIL. If you ship it by parcel post, it takes 4-6 weeks. The post office says it takes 12 days. It lies. So you've got to use priority mail. It'll probably still take a week, but until we get some paychecks rolling in, we're just sitting around watching TV, playing on the internet and staring at our empty kitchen cabinets.
Did I mention that we love you people?
Oh yeah, and our address is:
Aaron & Samara Baker (or Dr. & Mrs. Baker, if you prefer)
PO Box 1248
Dillingham, AK 99576
Thanks!
Samara's edit:
Oh and I have an amazon wishlist because my birthday is coming up. Just if you need ideas. ;)

Hey, Help is on the way! I will try and send a pkg out before the PO closes for the holidays. How about inflatabel pillows?? Your apartment looks great. Have fun on your adventures. Love Mom from Indiana
I sent a package today! I'm sure it won't actually go out until Tuesday, but but it's sort of on its way.
I just got back from seeing Kirsten and Wip. They're both doing fine--and he has the cutest nose in the entire world.
I am going to grab a flat rate box at the post office today and pack it as full as I can get it. You guys should really learn to pop popcorn on the stove top instead of in the microwave- it is cheaper, healthier, and tastes way better. Plus, it only take 3-4 minutes longer.
Here are my instructions for making popcorn on the stove top and I will pick up some kernels for you at the co-op.
