Yesterday our neighbor came over and told us this story, which cracks me up for some reason.
"Did you hear we have a new mailman? You know, the old one died. He was a grouch. He died shoveling snow on his way to his hot tub. He was a drug addict. Okay, maybe he wasn't an addict, but he did a lot of drugs."
So if you're a grumpy mailman who loves his hot tub and has a lot of snow to shovel, please don't do drugs. Or if you're a grumpy mailman who does drugs and lives up north, put your hot tub inside. Or if you're a grumpy drug addict with a snow-covered hot tub, don't deliver the mail. However, if you're a mailman with a drug problem and a hot tub buried in snow, you probably can't help being a grump. Unless you do more drugs.

I Highly Recommend the following decaf delights:
- Orange Spice (lovely for the fall and winter months with just a touch of sugar)
- Green Tea with Apricot (fruity and chock full o' healthy antioxidants)
- Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos (mild and pleasant with a nice hint of vanilla and grenadine...one of my very favorite teas!)
- Special Teas

I Highly Recommend the following decaf delights:
- Chai (nicely flavored with ginger, cinnamon, and vanilla)
- Peach ( a
- Cinnamon Orange Spice (a touch stronger than the Tea Table blend)
- The White Lily Tearoom
- This was a precious tea room until it closed, but you can still order tasty teas and a mix for Vickie's yummy scones online.

Greta's Favorite Smelly Old Books
Young Horatio Hornblower, C.S. Forester: I love to sniff the old torn spine of this book. I sit primly on the open pages and just rest my nose on the book, getting a high from the musty, basement-y odor.
The Bastable Children, E. Nesbit: It's soft, faded linen cover is almost as tattered & smelly as YHH.
The Father Christmas Letters, J.R.R. Tolkien: I am only able to smell this rare secondhand copy during Advent, and I have to sneak to sit on it when no one is looking.

question - do you have snow right now?!?
No snow. We usually get the last of that in April. But the temperature is in the 70s today, and I think that's the first time it's been in the 70s this month.
ROFL!!!!!!!!!
I love nosy neighbors! Ours works for the city and she dishes about all our neighbors. One left his house for Wyoming and is getting slapped with unpaid water bills. One came into some inheritance and hightailed it to the ritzy neighborhood; only to leave their old house in a run-down state. She's slapping them with an order to mow their lawn. Oh, and the neighbor on the corner? He dresses in women's clothes.
Of course, none of these were mailmen, and I don't think they had hot tubs. So, they are all still alive.
