In the Christmas Rush!

Today, Monday, Dec. 15th is supposed to be the busiest Mailing day at the U.S Post Office- so, because I had to drop Tom off at the airport to fly to NC for jobsite work, I got to the local post office at 6:00 a.m. Fortunately, Crofton, Md. has a self-serve, automated package weighing machine that takes debit and credit cards. There was NO line, so I was able to mail our 8 packages in a matter of minutes. I LOVE automated post offices!
This weekend was a Christmas rush for us, because we're mailing lots of things out. So, we ran errands from place to place and think we've covered it all - finally. We've even picked up little things for the neighbors. Between errands on Sunday, we walked the dogs a good 1 1/2 miles and then attended Tom's parents Christmas Concert at their over 55 complex in Annapolis. They're both in the choir, and it was fun! - Despite one soloist who was about 80 or so, and sounded like an injured cat wailing in pain, the other songs were well done and we got to sing along to the standards. Afterward, we spent the evening wrapping presents and got 'em all done!
