"The Value of Small Town Post Offices"

When I hear there is a possibility that some rural Post Offices might be forced to close I think back to my father walking to the Post Office every day. I've written about this sad possibility. I hope you'll take a minute to read it because closing Post Offices affects us in so many ways besides the obvious!

Here's where you can find the…

Disaster on the Cinder Driveway!

I invite you to go to my Blog at www.thereindeerkeeper.blogspot.com.

Anyway the line was long so I sat there reading their menu board and as I did the thought hit me-since when did "super-size" wedge its way into the norm. It certainly wasn't when I grew up. This all led to me rushing in the door when I got home-turning on the computer and eating that fish sandwich while out poured my article-"When A Hamburger Was Just A Hamburger" now up on… Continue
