Don't need one...



This is what we have this morning.The weatherman said last night that we may get a dusting. So far we are up to 1/2" and down in the teens tonight and then another blast of snow tomorrow.

Looks like I'll be taking photos and listing and not worrying about getting packages out.

We did get the car out yesterday because we knew we needed to get a prescription that wasn't ready yesterday. On the way out to the car our regular postman came by. I only had two packages that I was going to drop by the post office. I flagged him down and asked him if he would take them and told him that I didn't have a bulk list. His reply? "Don't need one".

I don't know if that would be his response if I had 20 packages, but it's good to know in a pinch when I can't really leave the house and didn't schedule a pick up the night before that I can leave them for him to pick up.

My question of the day is, "If he doesn't need one, why does the postmaster need one at the post office?"

I love the view from our deck. There is a creek down the hill and we have lots of wild life. Deer by the dozens, ground hog, fox, raccoon, and about a million squirrel. Very peaceful with all of the snow.
 Hope everyone is safe and warm. I guess I'll just think about all the good stuff that I'm missing at the thrift stores...;)

    1. We got about 8" of snow overnight and the only vehicles I have seen on our very rural, tree lined road was a kid on a atv and our postman. If I can't get out for a few days I am confident that he will be by as always. A plus is not having to deal with the postmaster.

  2. If I were you, I would venture to a new post office. My local post office has a worker that isn't very nice and refuses to print a receipt as proof of acceptance. So, my husband takes my packages to the post office in the town where he works. They couldn't be sweeter. They don't require any bulk list and they are happy to print the receipt.

    1. The two clerks in our post office are gems. They are always helpful and have great attitudes. It's the new postmaster that's a pain in the butt. If history repeats itself she won't be there very long. I just have to be patient.
