Walnut Ridge Arkansas Post Office

I sent a Christmas package last week to Arkansas. I thought I had sent it to Portia, Arkansas. When I called yesterday to see if she got her package - she said no. I then remembered I sent it to Walnut Ridge, Arkansas instead. I don't know why.... In rushing to get everything shipped on time, my brain was thinking Portia but.... my hand wrote Walnut Ridge. With 90% of my family living everywhere else but Arizona, "hurry" at Christmas time is my middle name.
Anyway, I called the Walnut Ridge post office this morning to see if they had seen my package - they said no. At 7:30 am this morning I got a call from the post office here in Tempe. My package made it to Arkansas and back and was here at the Tempe post office waiting for me. Amazing!
I called Walnut Ridge, Arkansas post office and told them Thank You but the package is already back here. I told them (laughing) to be on the look out again if I accidentally addressed it wrong a second time.
This is a Thank You for all the hard working postal workers!

In Memory of Kim

It was three years ago, the last time I saw Kim. We were at a family reunion in St. Louis. Beings that it wasn't Kim's family or mine, we were there playing games on my laptop. We had a great time just Kim and I. Steve, Kim's husband is my husband's brother. Although everyone at the reunion was very nice, Kim and I seemed to connect.

Kim died in her sleep sometime early last Wednesday morning. Kim was only 44. She was a Mother to two daughters, and a Grandmother to one grand-daughter.

Her service is tomorrow Sunday evening in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas.
