Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Thanks in a mailbox


To town and walking at 6:20.
54 degrees and cloudy.
We had thunderstorms during the early morning hours but they stopped just in time for my walk.
Sunrise 6:38
Morning Walk Steps 12,101


On the way to town had to stop along the main road to let two deer cross the road.

Walked all around town, both cemeteries and the ball park.

Made another stop at the library to drop a DVD down the slot.

The house being built had all the shingles sitting on the peak.  
Maybe the roof will done during the day.

Didn't see anyone else out walking.

I've been passing by a small trailer on a back street by a house that looks like it has a bunch of junk in it for the dump.
Since last week every time I walk by it, I can hear a beeping sound, the kind you hear when you have to replace the battery on a smoke alarm.
Today it was still beeping but now it is very faint and is one long beep.
I am amazed at how long that thing is beeping!!!!

Walked passed a mailbox that was opened and saw this thanking the letter carrier.



I thought it was so nice and now I want to get one and put it in my mailbox too.

Our church works on Fingerprints once a month on a Thursday and Friday. 
Usually the third week of the month.
So we were off to church again today for some more work.
Friday work is from 9:00 - 12:00.
Another 20 or so people showed up again to work.
During the two days we put together, stapled, cut, and packaged up 8,8013 Roman books.

Had a relaxing afternoon at home.
Ken made us a pizza for supper.

Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by.
happyone

Jennifer - Our pastor named it Fingerprints Ministry because we all put our fingerprints all over it.  🙂

Debbie - I read the part over about the lady and the chickens from yesterday and it does read like she lived with the chickens.  I went back and put in a comma. 🙂

Sandy - Click on the word Fingerprints in the post and it will explain what it is.

Days and weeks go by so fast, it seems like Fingerprint Days come much more often than once a month.

The case of the mystery beep. I would be tempted to go and investigate! I love the mailman sticker! These buttons would be so cute on a sailor suit for a little boy!

That's a nice sign in the mailbox. So many people we need to thank in life.

Thank you, Happyone. God bless.

Hello,
The thank you sign in the mailbox is a great idea.
The buttons are cute!
Have a great weekend.

I wonder what the beeping was. I love that mailbox. What a great idea. I would do something like that with my mailbox but the carrier is a bit of jerk...lol

Your team of workers really deliver! Thanks for the explanation of the name for that ministry. That is a nice touch in the mailbox, thanking the carrier. Those are sweet little buttons!

Bill said...

The postman probably appreciated the thank you card.

Debby said...

Aww, that is cute for the mailperson. We have those cluster boxes here. A few years ago, our mailboxes were being broken into. They are just not safe anymore.

I like the mailbox.
