Some Love

So we have been asked quite a few times if there is anything that we would like to have sent. Obviously our first answer is ¨Yes!¨who doesn´t love recieving mail?? Then we sat down and started to think about it... there are a few things (few is a relative term..) that we would love to have sent to our doorstep. This is not a list of things that we are expecting to get, or a request- simply an aid for those who keep asking!

- Licorice. Any kind of red yummy licorice will do.
- Granola bars. Also any kind of super-healthy yummyness will do.
- Magazines. Any kind of fashion, Interior Design, Health, Construction, Music, News or other type of magazine will do (and we would love to have your would-be recycled ones too!)
- Powdered Gatorade. Electrolytes are good!
- Books. Anything that you think we might like! (We would however like a book called ¨The Barefoot Architect¨, any book on flora and fauna for medicinal purposes, a medical book, and any classic book you could think of. Plus David Sedaris books!
- Ashley would like a ¨spa kit¨as it is ¨really difficult to feel girly down here!!!¨
- Red Hot Chili Peppers Album ¨Stadium Arcadium¨- Ashley forgot her copy, and it is scratched up as she listens to it incessantly.
- Seeds. Any type of fruit or vegetable seed you can think of (I am not sure if you can get these, but we would be really interested in artichoke, asparagus, strawberry, spinach, eggplant, etc... you get the idea)
- A really good pair of tweezers!
- Fruity flavored candy! (skittles, chewy sweet tarts, starbursts, etc..)
- Pistachios!!!
-Cook books! (Probably vegan or vegetarian, as meat, cheese and milk are hard to come by here)
- Anything else that you can possibly think that we would enjoy!!!

Hey our lovely other Iowa couple!

Depending on where you are going you might want to hold off on seeds. If you are in a hot site try some tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, eggplants. However if you are in a cooler climate you can try peas, carrots, lettuce, broccoli. However, aspargus is generally sold as a small plant (it doesn´t do well by seed). So you´ll have to shop locally.

And if you do get anything you can´t grow in your area, you can all ways donate to the seeders fridge in the office!

Also if you get any good magazines I have a cicular file in the office that likes donations as well.

Good luck on your first site visit!
