Pennsylvania's Cutest Post Office

Well, at least the cutest post office I've ever seen. I've been doing a lot of e-bay selling lately as I mentioned and I recently discovered this post office. It's in a neighboring town, a town so small that they don't even have a mail carrier. The "big" post office in my town, is far from big, (you can see it in my blog header) but this little cute place is actually attached to someone's house. It's one teeny tiny room and virtually no parking spaces, you just kind of pull up on the side of the road, not too far from the train track. The people who live there sell brown eggs and vegetables so you can support your healthy diet after you mail your e-bay packages.

Here's the sign that you see as you pull in. I blurred any details that might give away my exact location because I don't want any freaky people hunting me down in this cute little post office. ;)

Here it is! The post office is the part on the right, just that little part with the mail box in front of it. People actually live in the other part which I think would get rather annoying, at the times I've been there, this post office is surprisingly busy!


Fancy huh?

This one turned out a tad bit blurry but I was afraid that my friendly post office worker lady would think I was crazy taking pictures so I had to be quick.


So, that's about it. I've been wanting to share this for a while because I was very taken by this little gem the first time I saw it. To be honest, I don't know how unusual a little place like this is but it's the only time I've ever seen anything like it. I imagine lots of small post offices like this exist but really have no way of knowing. I do have to say the ladies who work there are very sweet and accommodating and it's a great post office to do business with.

I hope you enjoyed coming to a little part of my country town today. Have a great Tuesday!

Why did the chickens cross the road?

To make The Husband late for work!


The Husband took this picture with his iphone on his way to work yesterday... told you we were in the country now! Lately he's been seeing one or two as he drives on this road. The road, incidentally is called Guernsey Road which in and of itself is "country." On Tuesday he saw this whole flock, gaggle, group (?) of chickens and had to snap this picture. This was definitely not something we saw in The City very often. Or ever, although there was that one time we saw a Chicken at the vet... her owner was feeding her Tastykakes, butterscotch krimpets if I remember correctly. Weird stuff.

Anyway, one last riddle for you, The Son loves this one:

Why did the chicken cross the playground?

To get to the other slide!

Have a great day everyone and stay tuned for some holiday posts...I just have a lot to do today so I thought I'd just give you a little quickie, that's OK once in a while, right?

I changed my blog header...

as I'm sure you can see. It got me thinking about our move. Everyone told me I'd miss The City and that I'd want to move back in a year but honestly, I just don't see that happening. There's a couple things I miss but MOST of them are contrasted by something here in the country that's just as good. For example, I miss being able to walk places and run a lot of errands without buckling/unbuckling a car seat 47 times. However, now when I do run errands, there's a parking spot for my car so that actually seems like a luxury. I miss being able to walk to the bars and restaurants in my neighborhood because it was always nice to be able to walk home after a few drinks. I won't have ANY drinks if I'm driving...ever, so that's taken some getting used to. The plus side of that is, we're spending a lot less money now that we're eating (and drinking ;) ) at home. I do miss my friends and I don't talk to them nearly as much as I should, that part's been difficult. They could never be replaced but I am very grateful that I have made some wonderful friends here already that have really made this area also seem like home. 

Things about the country that I love are:

- our new house. It might not have the "character" or history of the old house and I thought that would bother me but, lo and behold, it doesn't! 

- my laundry room. 

- my craft room

- the birds and deer I can see from my windows.

- the YMCA, not that they don't have Ys in the city but ours is just so nice and "family oriented" here. It's going to be great for The Son to grow up there. 

- the excellent public schools. (one of our BIG reasons for moving here)

- The Husband is much happier in his job. 

- Mushrooms! hee hee. 

- the safety in this area, Our neighborhood in The City was certainly one of the safest but even so, sometimes things got a little bit scary. 

I suppose I could go on and on but I'll stop there. I'm just so glad that things are working out and that our family is settling in here without too much nostalgia for the past.
