Well, it's Monday...The weekend was exciting, but full of foul weather...SO...  

There was plenty of time provided by the weather conditions for reviewing problems and opportunities, establishing priorities, and planning the week ahead...  

Of course, with the Phillies knee deep into the NLCS playoffs...all scheduling resolves around that particular sporting event...!!!  

But one task which I have been putting off for months was the need to replace our mailbox at work...

Just to bring those of you who don't follow this blog up to date.......  

We moved into our present offices about 7 years ago...the premises had been a very nice stone front rancher on about an acre and a half of beautifully landscaped plantings and used exclusively for residential purposes...in fact, the previous residents can trace their ownership back to William Penn...  

Over the years, and due to expansion in the area, new road accesses, and unprecedented development, the property found itself lying in a spot which had become zoned for Office/Light Industrial use...  

And so, although the property fit all of our needs commercially, I had resolved to keep the 'residential and homey look' as much as practicable through the many renovations that were completed to the property before we moved in...  

One such 'residential touch' to the property was its mailbox...obviously custom hand made and not mass produced and barely serving our commercial needs regarding size and functionality, the mailbox we resolved not to touch has undergone several other 'attacks' since moving in...not the least of which was being attacked and 'drilled' by a local woodpecker looking to upgrade his residence, a local red cardinal seeking similar privileges I suppose, and numerous threats to its structural integrity caused by weather and aging...  

So before our mailbox looks like the picture above and misrepresents who we are and what we appreciate...We will be searching for and installing a suitable replacement...one probably which I found on Ace Hardware's website...!!!  

I will keep you all 'POSTED' (humor intended)...!!!

I got the humor and I thought it was funny! I hope your new one does look a little better than that one.

Fran,

I found you by accident... But Glad that I did. want to know how?  I did a search in AR for Title Companies.. then I found a "List of top Title companies in AR"  You are number 1 !!

So I dug into your profile, and way down at the bottom you give a warning about "Shell Companies"  I am seeing them gaining market share out her in AZ

Thanks

Bob & Bonnie: How about them Phils...!!!

Paul: In our area, where the rubber meets the road, sham companies are being exposed for what they are...!!! Scoundrels will probably never be totally eliminated, however, so consumers should be careful...!!!

Thanks,   Fran
