Lets shake things up at your home today!

Hard to believe it's that time of year already and we need to start worrying about mailing gifts. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Barbara.

Roger - yes, I had a fantastic Thanksgiving Day and hope that you did also. Funny, how easy it is to let the mailing dates slip by us. My office is next door, same building and I can still let them go by.

I purchased my Christmas stamps on Tuesday - our local rural post office was very busy then. I suspect people are mailing EARLY!

Nov 24, 2011 10:50 PM

Wallace - I think you are right. I see a steady stream of customers coming in and out of the Post Office next door. My goal is to get mine mailed early next week.
