Snail mail is probably one of my favorite things
at the end of the day .... and of course,
this excludes any type of bill!
My mailman knows me by name since I walk the dogs to the mailbox everyday while he fills the community boxes, and I have come to the conclusion that he he is the nicest man. Our mailboxes were broken into the first couple months we lived here, so I make an effort to drop off all my outgoing mail with him so I don't worry about it disappearing in the hands of someone else. We talk about the weather, my dogs that won't stop barking at him, how his day has been, and I recently learned that his territory is getting larger since they are laying off the most senior people. One time, he even made a comment while I was driving a rental and asked where my car was .... what a good memory he has right?
Well, today,
he delivered me this lovely decorated package below,
and I couldn't wait to get home and open it!
I sneaked a peak at the label and saw Bainbridge, which means it is from this fabulous lady!!!
FOR ME?? A beautiful card Ink Obsession Design just personalized for Teresa, yummy chocolate from Bon Bon Confections fudge boutique on Bainbridge Island, AND Frans Smoked Salt Carmels .
I just had to open them and try one of each, which I slightly regretted eating right before Crossfit. I should have saved for after my workout - oops! Oh well, it was amazing!
Teresa, your sweet heart and cheerful spirit is so vibrant. I just love a good AMAZING southern gal'! Thank you, Thank you, for my chocolate care package!
**The best mail is from my Granny Gayle! I haven't gone a month without some simple one page note or even many chapters telling me how loved I am and to give Gabe a hug for her! This is what life is all about and cherishing the written notes to the point of savoring them all in a huge folder that is overflowing with her name written on the outside. Love you GG, hope that hand never gives out on you because I don't know what I would do with myself.

You have such a sweet...happy...charming spirit...and you light up the hearts of many! XXOOXX
I hate Emails....the only reason being that they have almost made hand-written letters vanish! But I love the fact that my grand father doesn't know the I of Internet and still writes those sweet letters to me which are actually written in numbered paragraphs!
And yeah, I want a choco package too...been years I received a parcel with goodies (sob sob)
Snail mail is the best, hands down. I got a postcard from my lovely little sister today, and it just made my whole day brighter :-) I love it that someone took the time to write out a message and mail it, you know? I should do more of that myself!
Your mailman story was too sweet :).
I love mail, but agree with you...the bills could go elsewhere, lol.

I send Meme (Mr. Potts' Grandmother) a note every few weeks & sometimes surprise her with flowers or small packages. I know how much I love getting stuff like that & I know that she always enjoys them.

My new neighbor just fixed my mail box (it fell down when road work was going on). Good thing because our mean mail lady would not deliver mail until it was in the proper position!

I used to love snail mail but in my current apartment complex it really annoys me. The mailman tries to cram things into the little boxes and I have had a bunch of pictures bent.
