Today, I got to the post office just-in-time. I’ve made a habit of getting to the post office kind of late in the day, because I have had a lot of things to mail lately.

I am sending about 20 of my old Virginia Tech T-shirts to my friend Jessica in North Carolina. She is currently attending graduate school at Appalachian State University, and in her spare time she makes blankets out of old Tshirts. Needless to say, I love to buy Virginia Tech T-shirts and I was really taking advantage of this opportunity to get rid of some old ones, and even have a new blanket at the same time!

Also, I’m I’m sending another friend, Kimmie, a pair of Rainbow sandals that she wanted me to get for her here in Blacksburg. They are even Virginia Tech branded rainbows!

Last, I am sending a letter to a young friend of mine. Arianna started kindergarten this week, and I just thought it would be nice to send her a little letter to congratulate her, and let her know that even a big kids like me start school too. Obviously, classes start back up on Monday.

 

I hope the post office never goes away. It’s one of those classic American traditions that is a staple. There really is nothing like getting something in the mail. I Alwaes get so excited for snail mail… Which is must much less than I can say for email!
