A Trip to the Post Office

Tweet

About two weeks ago, my kids and I went to the local post office. Our subdivision has its own and I'm thankful that we do, because I think it's so convenient to have one. Anyway, my seven-year-old daughter wrote a letter for her best friend and wanted to send it through post. I offered to send it through a private courier so it can be delivered in 24 hours. But my daughter said she'd rather have the letter posted with stamps and all and that she doesn't mind the long delivery time. So off we went to the post office. My daughter sealed the envelope and glued the stamps herself. She was so happy to have done something like that, and I'm equally proud of her. I love writing and sending handwritten letters myself, and I did exchange letters with friends for more than half of my life. I just hope her friend writes her back through post. It's so uncommon for people now to send handwritten letters and send them via post. Do you still visit your local post office? (Image by Pixabay)
