More Unusual Mail

By

October 24, 2016 Just about 3 weeks back, we began to deliver Amazon Fresh. In other words, we are now delivering food, such as bananas and avocados, and staples such as toothpaste and dog food. They come in large insulated green rectangular packs. Someone must have ordered a pumpkin. Alas, it did not fit into […]

Under 91 Project

September 28, 2016 Calligraphy literally means beautiful writing. What is displayed in the exquisite penmanship and design of The Graceful Envelopes is what is “traditional” calligraphy. Yet graffiti can also be calligraphic. Yes, much of it can be a statement of angst and protest. However, many street artists are extremely creative, talented draftsmen. How they […]

Unusual mail

By

September 3, 2016 Every now and then, something comes through the system that shows cleverness and humor. Last month, I delivered a beach ball. You can see the address with the delivery confirmation label lifting off the curved surface. Then on the other side of the sphere, the message…”Hope you bounce back”- just made my […]

The postman brings happiness

By

August 12, 2016 Adam sent me this 1969 comic book cover illustrating a happy “mail moment.” What a great thrift shop find. I love the facial expressions and that all three heads come together over the letter, which is obviously, good news. What do you think the happy news is? It’s obviously something the boy […]

Liberty’s Poem

By

July 18, 2016 Have you been distracted by the antics surrounding this year’s U.S. presidential election? I know too many people who are so fearful of different outcomes that they have trouble sleeping. Several bounced checks have alerted me that I am off kilter, also. The traditional choices are so repulsive it is hard to […]

Fathers’ Day

By

There was a video I watched where a young girl asked Bernie Sanders, “Would you be my father?’ He answered, “No, but I’ll be your President.” George Washington, as the first president, became known as “The Father of America,” and ever since then the presidential title and fatherhood have become synonymous. What makes a father […]

Memorial Day 2016

By

May 30, 2016 … Yes, it’s a holiday and a day off from work and school.  Today heralds the beginning of the summer season, and many retailers are offering fantastic bargains. However, let’s not lose sight of the real reason we have the day off- remembering those who served and died in our country’s military. […]
