Since I haven’t added to our collection of lawn flamingos in months, maybe a year I think my husband was hoping we were done with the flamingos. They are perhaps the longest running joke in the family (going on 46 years this September). But no, I don’t think he can be that lucky.
We have a serious issue with our mailbox. It isn’t that old. Perhaps 8 years, maybe a bit longer? But the front drop down door comes off all the time and I am getting sick of it. It needs to be replaced with something that works. It also would be smarter to get something that might just hold a slightly larger envelope or package so that things aren’t crammed in or literally bent out of shape. So at dinner tonight I mentioned perhaps getting a flamingo mailbox. I will have to give to George, he didn’t lose it. Not even when Dani started looking for examples on line and found some pretty outrageous options.
Among others, there is a woodworker in Florida who does all sort of custom mailboxes. And yes, it is legal, as long as the box is 1) accessible 2) meets the regs for size, shape and has that flag thing -which no one uses. In fact, I call that the “steal the contents” flag. Anyway. there is a listing on that site for a flamingo mailbox. .. and if that doesn’t work, I bet I could talk George into a Golden Bear as that is the mascot for Cal…..
On the stitching front, I managed a bit more today – the ghost is done. I am not happy with how it looks but not interested in ripping it out and doing a chunk of it over,
and Ms Yellow Mushroom is finally up to 65%. I would really, really like her finishing this month but doubt it will happen
