"Am I Still Out There"??
Hi Everybody !!!!!
Sorry bout the long time no post but you know how it is_______huh Robert !
When Tessa commented that I hadn't blogged for a long time, I said to myself-- you gotta get on there and blog a little. When Robert commented that I hadn't blogged, I said to myself, Holy Smoke!!!! He is still out there!! Just Kidding Robert. I know you are really busy right now. Golly the whole family is just got so many things going that I just kinda read everybodys blogs and know all is goin well and selfishly go on my way!!!!!! Sorry bout that!
Well my work partner retired so I am franticly looking for a replacement. We have the job posted in the Post Office and the Internet. I have 3 weeks vacation left over from last year and can't take any till I get someone broke in to take care of the place when I'm gone. Believe me, I'm ready to take a week off !! Uh Oh I have to run for right now. I promise I won't be gone so long this time-----I Love You ALL !!!
P.S. Almost forgot --- I also started tearing the bathroom apart. We decided its time for a facelift. Will send pics later----byby

Hi All-----Thought this was kinda funny !!!
There was a man who worked for the Post Office ...
... whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:
Dear God, I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension check. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went. A few days later, another letter came from the old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read,
Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office.
Sincerely yours Edna.

Hi All!
Well what have we been doin?
Not too much exciting goin on. I have been hauling top soil from out grass valley road to fill in the big ditch that was by the new brick wall my neighbor put in. It took 12 pickup loads !!
We took a drive up Hinkey awhile back. Drove up to Lye Creek Campground. Was a real nice day. Bette wanted to see the trees changing colors but we were a little late. A lot of the leaves were already down. It was a pretty and fun drive anyway.
.
On our way back we stopped by Winnemucca Farms where brother Roy was baling hay. (He is all finished haying now)
Other than that it's just been kinda work, come home, walk, kick back. My job is going well. I really enjoy getting home at 3:35 in the afternoon. I like the job a lot, its not a hard job and I get plenty of excercise. I kinda go at my own pace according to what I need to get done and create my own daily schedule. Besides my every day clean up, I do the ordering for the post office, I deliver express mail when the carriers are behind, I install cluster mail boxes when needed.( or when a car decides to run over one). I keep the lawn mowed, the trees trimmed, the grounds kept up. I do a lot of lock changes ( good to get out in the country). I reluctantly was made safety captain so I have to give a safety meeting once a week and insure that a safe environment is maintained for all employees. We have six mail trucks (LLV's - long lasting vehicles) that I have to assure that are keep maintained and serviced. I am very thankful that I have this job. At my age, it's perfect. Last week I completed my military buy back and recieved the papers the other day. It cost me $203.00 and now all of my time in the service goes to my retirement from the Post Office. So I now have over 5 years at the P.O. Enough about my job!! Bette is starting to get ready for Thanksgiving. I hope everyone knows that there is a standing invitation for all of our family to our house for the Holidays......ALWAYS!! We love you all and look forward to seeing any of you when we get the chance. Well I best go get something done....It's another nice day!! ............................... Love you all!
