I got 'em. Had to go pick them up at the PO. My mailman, who regularly stuffs anything in my mailbox, wouldn't/couldn't do it with the Priority Mailers and left me a "at PO" pink thingy. I was so frosted. I was right down the driveway - I saw him cross my driveway. There is no reason he couldn't have handed them to me. He does that when he has something for me to sign. But Nooooooooooo, not this time.
Grrrrrrr - I am so angry at him. Yet another new one. They show up about once a month. It's getting ridiculous. I must live in a training area or something. Oh joy. NOT.
I hope to go visit Walter Reed tomorrow - and take them some cheer and some presents.
FReepmail me your address, please? I don't have much to send but I'd really like to send something for those toiletries. Those items hit me where I live, if you get my drift.
Blessings, Patty.
