The rumor is true...


We are rednecks...here's a pic of our awesome new/used mailbox...I'm pretty proud of myself. I made it all on my own! Hey it works just fine!! There are plenty of uses for those Homer buckets you get for real cheap at Home Depot. My mail-lady even delivers to our new house without changing the house numbers! How's that for federal government service?? It's a good thing there aren't many neighbors on our street yet...they might object to our style of decor...

Monday at 8:00 a.m. our old house will be coming down... The house next to our house came down yesterday...made us literally pretty sick. Here's a little picture of it. You can see our old garage in the background.

Yup - gitter' done!! Good job Queen!! Most of your mail probably still says '706' and that makes it easier for the mail lady!! Way too funny.

Anyway, good luck Monday. I'll be thinking about you all morning. sniff..sniff... and HUGS HUGS HUGS

Gosh I can't believe how fast they're pulling those houses down. I'll be thinking of you on Monday morning. Are you going to watch?

Oh & I *love* your landscaping around the mail box! LOL.

I absolutely love your new/old mailbox and the way you have made it is absolutely perfect. I will be thinking about you bigtime on Monday morning 8:00a.m. your time which is a much more reasonable 1pm my time. But your new house looks really great. Lots of Love Patti xxx
