About Me:Rural Carrier small town Ohio. Married to a die hard Bass fisherman. I'm a country girl that loves the outdoors. My daughter is in college at Ohio State and my son plays all the sports.I spend most of my time running him around. This blog will never be politically correct.You may read Merry Christmas or Jesus on here. My front lawn displays the American flag. Campfires smell good and are a favorite pastime. I fish with my husband but I won't take the fish off the hook. My hair is super curly. I have a lab and jack russell terrier. They chase skunks and groundhogs. I drive a Jeep. I like watching thunderstorms while sitting on my front porch swing. Spauldo is my nickname that some friends gave me. I started working for the USPS as an RCA. I wanted to be home with the kids and still have some extra money. I made regular within 3 years so I stuck around. I didn't grow up desiring to be a mail carrier-it just happened. I like and appreciate my job with the USPS;however,I can do without the shadiness and game playing.
America celebrates Independence Day each year on July 4, commemorating the day in 1776 when the colonists declared their freedom from British rule. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, which was approved and signed by members of the Continental Congress of the United States of America.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
I pledge
Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all.
May
God bless all those persons serving in our military forces who risk their lives in order to preserve and defend the God-given rights of all "that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"
When gazing at the firworks this evening sing the verse proudly!!!!!!
The rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
I have a patriot's heart and got a little carried away with the copy & paste feature. Have a great Independence day everyone!!!!!
I survived the playground....barely....The height of these rides never bothered me until this year. I noticed that "weak in the knees feeling" for the first time. Especially, after the Skyhawk ride. See video below compliments of YouTube.
Joe and I were sitting in the park's train caboose looking out over the waters of Lake Erie.We talked about giving up our hobby of roller coaster riding for something more down to earth. We discussed this after riding 15 coasters and having our equalibriums fried. Our solution at that moment was a WALLEYE FISHING BOAT! They were whizzing by as
we were recuperating in the back of the train. We could spend our retirement days on
the lake and fish for walleye while watching the youngins ride the coasters off
in the distance. Nice to dream.
Obligation reared its ugly head on the last evening of
vacation when thoughts of returning to work crossed my mind. We usually spend the last evening watching the sun set on the water. I dreamed of a time when I can do what I want to do every day instead of what
obligation tells me to do. "Don't miss scans" "Get the mail in the right box"
"Be back by five" "Be safe" "Make sure you're on the street at your evaluated
time" Blah, Blah, Blah........It's my job, it's my
obligation.
Mark's comment gave us the analogy of the postal
service being like a roller coaster ride. The Cedar Point coasters leave me
with a feeling of euphoria, but the PO's coaster leaves me feeling like a
trampled bug.
Obligation is calling...."Aint no use in complaining, when you got a job to do"........Monday, I'll be back on the PO's thrill ride making my rounds.
Any other time in history, this cartoon would not impact us the way it does. At first glance, it is funny, but a little later reality sinks in and we wonder "How bad is it going to get?" They say gas prices could reach $10 a gallon by 2010. If this is the terrorists plan to bring down America, I think they may have hit the nail on the head. Gas in the middle east is said to be 66 cents a gallon. Is that because they have camels for transportation? I don't know. On the other hand you wonder who is getting rich off of oil and selling America's soul for who knows what. Sorry for the depressing blog, I just saw this cartoon and laughed, then I thought of all the Rural Carriers out there buying their gas and subsidizing the post office and it caused me to think too much. I'm done.
I'm gonna go watch the Discovery channel. Deadliest catch is on.
I think my blog is haunted. I posted my croc blog the other day and it disappeard. Carrie wanted to read the comments and couldn't find the blog. When it did show up. I couldn't click on the comments to read them. The Croc blog is back, but when it reappeared on the main page it had a date of Dec. 31, 1969. Freaky. Recently, I've tried to click on comments to read them and it tells me I don't have access to this site. LOL
I just found out that my good friend Postal Texan left me a comment on one of my blogs and the comment disappeard or deleted itself:( Sorry PT. I would be honored to have a comment from you anyday!!!!! So, I just wanted everyone to know if you leave a comment on my blog it may not post. If it doesn't please try again.
George started the interactive blog idea.... so I'm going to copy from him
and ask what is your favorite shoe to wear around during the summer?
Flip-flops, sandals, Birkenstocks, athletic shoes...........there are
many choices. Normally I would have listed flip-flops;however,I find
myself digging in my closet for last years crocs. That's right! I wear the ugly shoe. I own a navy blue pair and I'm proud of it.
Believe me, I resisted buying these things for a long time. I didn't
care how comfortable others said they were. I thought they look like
plastic Dutch clogs. Very uncool,but I noticed a phenomenon. Usually
the "fashion minded people" purchase the latest styles for
vanity sake, but it wasn't the "fashion minded" purchasing these
shoes. I noticed the gardening freaks wearing the bright green crocs, the boater's wearing the navy crocs , and the team moms wearing the pink crocs......... so I thought......there must be something to the shoe. These people aren't wearing these shoes to make a fashion statement, so they must be wearing them because of
the comfort factor. Justification for purchase! I know my deductive
reasoning skills aren't very scientific, but HEY, it made sense to me.
I own two navy blue pairs and all I can say is "I LOVE my Crocs".
They are convenient, comfy, and ideal for those of us that like to
hang around the water. They may look nerdy, but I challenge you to
slip on a pair and find out for yourself what true comfort really is.
Crocs really aren't a crock.
