I think the majority of mail we get these days is what one might consider "junk" mail. I think it is a good system you and Sherry have set up to get your mail when you want it :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-21119945620397870122014-01-31T00:01:58.853-05:002014-01-31T00:01:58.853-05:00That's quite a humorous collection of mailbox ...That's quite a humorous collection of mailbox photos you've got there, Jack! :-)<br /><br />FDR's press people did all they could to disguise the fact that his physical abilities had been so badly damaged by polio. He DID drive cars, but they were specially fitted out for him.<br /><br />There's a humorous story about FDR scaring the daylights out of Winston Churchill when Churchill was a passenger in a car FDR was driving, perhaps there at Warm Springs. (The details escape «Louis»...) FDR, seeing that he had terrorized Churchill did more to scare poor old Winnie to the point of almost driving the car into a lake.Louis la Vachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039777863022193315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-57567616729390051192014-01-30T23:07:40.139-05:002014-01-30T23:07:40.139-05:00You found some unusual mail boxes there.

Lately it's seed catalogs. I'd still rather page through a magazine leisurely and read every word. I can only watch so many westerns in an evening...but I would never deny Bill his entertainment, my hard workin' guy. The mail still comes to the very same mailbox for the past 34 yrs, at the end of the same driveway, but to 3 diff. addresses. Our highway dept. just can't seem to make up it's mind.<br /><br />Oh, we had a heatwave today. It got up to 20 ABOVE zero, and I shoveled off the steps in short sleeves. It was wonderful!Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642092433299872708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-13005082115917270812014-01-30T20:06:41.756-05:002014-01-30T20:06:41.756-05:00All our mail comes to a PO BOX and not our street ...All our mail comes to a PO BOX and not our street address.

Haaa...reminds me of a mail box sign we ran across on a country road down in Louisana someplace. It was a typical style mailbox on a post with a name and address on the box, but it was big-big, not a true mailbox, but an advertisement. It caught my attention so, that I had to get out on the side of the road and have my husband snap a picture of me leaning against the post...ha. I need to find that picture! Made me look tiny. haaDDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912324534961704540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-28449041838744299612014-01-30T15:27:42.967-05:002014-01-30T15:27:42.967-05:00Like the pictures of different mail boxes.

Your mail service reminds me of when my boys were in college. I'd save up their mail and put it in one of those priority mail envelopes and send it off to them too. It was cheeper than taking it to them.

The picture was in the Shelby Daily Star with a mail man<br />looking up. It was a 6ft. pole<br />with a sign at the top saying<br />AIR MAIL..The saying in the paper under the picture said "Installed this mailbox for the convenience of low flying aircraft mail deliverers. My newspaper clipping has turned yellow it is so old. It was in the paper 6/17/1981. <br /><br />Glad to see the picture of Stella<br />and Mark. <br /><br />shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.com
