6 tubs of orders waiting to be picked up by my fabulous postal person! I love that she will pick the bins up off of my front porch and drop me off empty bins in return! It makes my life so much easier! ? . . . . #quilt #quilting #patchwork #quiltville #bonniekhunter #happymail #mailroomduty #bookorders #usps

Visited a beautiful friend today in #bedstuy . Here's a sidewalk garden on his block, with a fabulous postal carrier. USPS workers rock. #urbangarden #cornstalks #postalcarrier #usps #neighborhoods #barrios

We found mail carrier figurines in the library today. I often find that I appreciate occupations most when someone I love is doing it. I once said "I would NEVER date a marine- especially states away! I don't have the patience for a relationship like that!" then I met Mitchell ?who was 'a marine' stationed ALL the way in California! Fast forward to now and we have been married almost four years! Today was his first day at the USPS outside of training. ??(if there was a dangerous loose dog emoji I would insert here but the friendly beagle doesn't do justice.) I am reminded how thankful I am for these people who deliver our professionally photographed Christmas cards, (except mine- i'd rather splurge on iced coffee than pay for that –so keep looking forward to my shit show of self timer Christmas cards.) bills, thank you notes, etc. I could definitely go without the bills but nothing says "I love you" like personalized mail so today I say THANK YOU to all the hard working mail carriers! You spread one of my favorite love languages and I appreciate ya!

A big shout out to all the men and women of UPS, USPS, FEDEX, and all the other delivery and postal organizations in the world. We rely on them to bring so many important items to us. I know there've been more than a few times I've waited with anticipation to hear the tires come up the driveway so I could receive my special something. #verygrateful #UPS #USPS #post #FEDEX #delivery #package #gift #mail #delivery #box #envelope #letter #365DaysofGratitude #Day261 #thanks #thankyou #gratitude #grateful #love #life #givethanks
