Mail, Mail, and Some Good Mail!

The one thing I dread about coming home from a vacation is having to face all of the mail that has piled up during our absence, most of it being junk mail! It doesn't take long before our mailbox gets completely full, meaning that we always expect to come home to this...


After a few days of the mail sitting in the mailbox piling up and our mailman realizing that we're not home, he collects it all back up and takes it to the post office for safe keeping. We automatically know when we get home that we'll need to make a trip to the post office the next day to collect the mail, and it always ends up coming home in the big box!

Again, the box was heaping full but it had lot of treats in it for me. Lots of good mail from special blogging friends!

Jenn sent me some adorable 4th of July decorations. I love 4th of July and love all of the red, white, and blue decorations that go along with it. As a matter of fact, we went to a potluck get together yesterday and so many people commented on my festive dishes and such. Ohhhh, if they only knew! Have I mentioned before that I'm a holiday decorations junkie!?!


I received thank you cards from Natasha and Andrea, and a sweet card from Kim Sue...


And last but not least, I received a special good mail package from Cheri. It was very sweet and special because she knows 2 things about me...that I love sweet tarts and that I adore dish towels!


Thank you girls for making the painful job of sorting through 2 weeks worth of mail not so painful! It was truly appreciated!

It's a Never Ending Battle

It's a good thing Bloglines is temporarily down because look what I need to tackle today...


Is it just us, or does your mail pile up like this too...in like only a week!

If you don't hear from me in a day or two, send out reinforcements...I may still be buried under all of it!
