August Letters Out!

Cute new stamps for today's mail out

 I should have done this earlier this evening but I was so involved with trying to get the kid Letters Out that I put off this portion of my day until now. I'm kind of glad that I did this just because good, bad or indifferent I'm getting I'm on the tail end of a second wind that I picked up somewhere in the middle of the kid letters, signing them foilding them stuff in the envelopes and then stamping them all and running them down to the postal drop at the front of the building. Done for another month. I don't know why these silly letters are so important to me cuz I doubt if they're important to the guys that are getting them. They just think I'm an old loon try to do something to be remembered by in the years to come when the old loon is gone whoever all loons go. I know some of the letters are being tracked or kept by my daughter Michelle and her two daughters. She's told me she has a box for each of them and the letters go in that box and that's probably the way it should be. Right now I'm sure the girls are dealing with these letters just because the old grandfather's bizarre enough to keep sending them every month. I like to think it's my personal stab at keeping the US Post Office in business. Last evening, maybe in the afternoon, I was at the market across the street and stopped at their customer service. Actually, I guess each of the individuals at the check out stand has their own little packets of stamps that they can sell to their customers and that's where I got mine last night. I think you had a couple different kinds but he asked me did it matter if I got the animal staff so I said no that's not a problem. Then he handed me this strip of stamps and they really have some cute art on them. I was excited to put them on the envelopes this evening as I was finishing the project for this month. Then later on I took all six or seven letters down to the mail drop and put them in. They're a little late this month. I usually like to have them in the mailbox by the last day of the month, obviously that didn't happen this month. I just had too much other stuff happening this last week when I usually put these letters together.

I had lunch with one of my old work colleagues Duane. I decided not to go to a restaurant or sit down venue of any type hoping to find Space here in the building but then one of the water machines or whatever blew up a night or so ago and Drench the number of floors with water and the whole building is being intimidated by drying out fans that are running day and night sound like a hurricane. So with that in mind I decided we would go across the street to a covered Pavilion- is that redundant?- - and up to take over one of the long tables. There were a couple of Born Again folks lurking trying to capture somebody into talking Bible with them. Thank goodness both of these individuals pretty much left us alone. We had a great discussion Duane3 about brought everything two bottles of Pepsi, two big giant sandwiches from this great sandwich house, a bag of chips. Sandwiches were huge and my friend gave me his half that he wasn't going to eat so I've got a whole sandwich in my refrigerator now so I'm covered for probably till Monday. Here's one of my I guess best friends now as I get older and we both have State pensions and we worked in the state system. We visited for quite a while it's always sort of interesting had fun been dodged attempts from the Bible boy behind us to get us into a religious discussion. Our lunch was a great event we covered a lot of ground and we enjoyed the new rebuild of the covered area. And totally enjoyed each other's company. Hopefully we'll have another lunch sometime in September and Beyond…
