Christmas Tree 2013

This is our Christmas tree for 2013, and the closer shot I put on FaceBook.

And, while I am at it, here’s the close-up from Christmas 2012.

Dental Floss

Various types of dental floss of come my way via the dentist or have been passed to me by other family members who do not like a particular type.

This is one I do not like.

It is slick and requires that I wind a lot of it around my fingers to hold it in place. I waste half of each piece in the winding.

Flowers From a Site, Day 9

I brought my bouquet home last Friday. Other flowers have opened beautifully.

Pretty pretty!

Flowers from a Site

As Coordinator for Extension Sites, I work with churches to work out their partnerships with the University. Part of the early process includes a conference call. This past week, on Tuesday, the mail room called me to say there were flowers to be picked up. I have never received flowers, so I could not imagine where these were coming from. Turns out they were from the person I talked to at this site.

Shipping Oddity #3

This time it is about double letters and double numbers. I know that double numbers occur in all shipments, but they stood out this time, because I was looking for doubles.


For 11 orders (oh and that’s the first double), we had these doubles:

1. 44, 66
2. Wattles, Comm
3. 33, Diann, Orr
4. Donna, Wood, 44, 99
5. Jerry, McAuliffe, Hoosick, Falls
6. Three, boofarm
7. none
8. Michelle, Shaffer, 55, 44
9. Todd, Libby, 99, 77
10. O’Donnell, 99
11. Robbie

And then the postage totaled $99.99.

This tickles me. Ha!

Shipment Oddity #2

We mail parcels twice a week.

In this week’s shipment we had these names:

Berry
Webb
Steffes
Witte
Goodwin

See all the double letters?
