Mr. Postman

My great brother has been a real good sport this past year and a half while I've been traveling back and forth to Utah. He comes over while I'm gone and gets my mail and takes care of my dog. Occasionally when I get home, he has surprised me with some repairs or clean ups around my yard. Sending a shout out to Garry! (woot woot)

After several months of getting my mail, he realized what a ghetto mail box I had. Last year (2010) for my birthday, he gave me a new mail box and stand. The joke, however, was that it would be installed for Christmas. Of course it wasn't my Christmas present...it was my birthday present THIS year. I got back from my birthday weekend and he had it up and waiting for mail.

The old one was sitting in my back yard by the trash can. I have been looking at it for a few months now and wondering what I should do with it. Last week, I white washed it and added it to my back porch decor.


Funny how much better it looks now that it isn't my main mode of mail delivery but rather a shabby chic addition.
