Grin Meanwhile, Back at the Post Office...
As most of you know, I had to retire from my job as Postmaster in December. There is a display case in the "new" post office, which I've enjoyed filling up with stuff for the past 15 years since we moved in.

The current officer-in-charge, who worked for me for 15 years, asked me if I'd be willing to continue to do the displays. Holy cow! I answered, "You mean you'd LET me???"

Today I met her over there after the window closed, and I put together a display featuring the "Early TV Memories" sheet of stamps (she did the step stool stuff, don't worry). Thought I'd share a couple of pics. It was quite a lot of work getting it ready, but I enjoyed it!

Hey that second pic is my shower curtain! LOL

Glad you were asked to help set it up. I bet that felt good.

That is so neat!! Looks like a lot of work. My kids always enjoyed the book "Cleo". I did a special voice for him, and the kids would ask me to read it over and over again...
so glad you were allowed to use your creativity!!

You did a great job!

It's beautiful, B2Y! You did a great job. I can see why they'd want you to continue the tradition.

So glad you got to do that. Didn't it make you feel so good to be involved in this way.

I know I get to go over to school on occasion and 'help' the new person who replaced me,who is my good friend. It helps me to miss it just a little bit less.

I know you were probably exhausted, but mentally it's a real pick me up.
