Journal Entry 34 by k00kaburra from San Jose, California USA on Wednesday, April 09, 2008

Well, the books are here, and it looks like they may be delayed here for a time. The box they were sent in can't make another journey; it's beaten and torn to shreds. I'm not sure I have another box big enough to house all these books, but I will go hunting and see if I can't find something. 

Journal Entry 35 by k00kaburra from San Jose, California USA on Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Could not find a box large enough for all the books, so I will be sending some home to elizardbreath to release in her town or put in a future Christian Bookbox, whatever she decides.

I apologize for holding onto this bookbox so long. I intended to mail it back out right away and then life happened and I didn't. I had some family issues going on, along with being a busy mom, and just never made it to the post office with everything else going on. This is going out first thing in the morning. Again, I apologize for holding it up so long. 

Journal Entry 49 by Dove-i-libri at Fort Myers, Florida USA on Friday, June 08, 2012

The bookbox arrived while I was in the hospital, Dad-i-Libri was so curious about what was inside. He was surprised when he saw all the cook books. I only took out two children-friendly books but I put in six booklettes and three large books: "Betty Crocker's Christmas Cookbook," "Too Busy to Cook?," and a fun idea: one of those mystery novels with recipes included to go along with the story called " Killer Crab Cakes."

As a 'little something else,' I also added two magazines: A Food Network Magazine and a Weight Watchers Magazine, but these are only EXTRAS

June 12, 2012: Home, recovering from surgery. I'm sending for MyssCyn's address, and Dad-i-Libri will seal and post the box next week!
