Postal Worker Jen who Knits give us mail hints!

By -


So Jennifer says :

*the rates at the post office try to be just a bit lower than UPS and The others. THey all have to stay in the same range so none of the major transport companies goes under. There are so many people and families and jobs involved, she says it would cause even more of an economic crises if any one of them went under.

*If you get the flat rate boxes you will almost always get a bargain if you send something even a little heavy. From our area
packagees going to NY are pricey.

*The flat rate boxes are new and sturdy. They are designed for carriers to be able to carry and not drop.

Jennifer loves the holidays at her job. Whatta ya nuts Jennifer? Well, no. She loves playing Santa and giving
people their packages. She says they got so excited, it is just wonderful.

*Jennifer is getting her knitting back together after many many years away from the needles.

*Jennifer dreads when fruit is sent from the lower states up. Lots of little travelers come with the boxes.
She is afraid of ants.

*I am always in there chatting with her as I send of yarn and the like. She is so sweet.

Working in the Post Office reminds me of working in retail. I have great sympathy for postal workers this time of year! We should have a "be kind to postal workers day."

Sorry about your computer/camera problems. Hope you can work it out soon because I love your photos!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
