Its February 4th. Today is the day we Thank Your Mailman Day. Or as Charlie likes to say thank your mail women/ person. is your chance to say thanks to the guy, or gal, who delivers your mail.
Our mail carrier delivers our mail six days a week. They must be a hardy lot. The postal worker should be reliable and they are always doing their job, regardless of the weather.
You’ll find mail carriers on walking routes, wearing shorts in all but the coldest of winter days. Eve with Snow on the ground ours delivers our mail and I am sure yours does as well.
Did you Know?
The Pony Express riders were the most famous early American “mailmen”. Their motto is ” Neither rain, nor snow, nor death of the night, can keep us from our job”.
The motto is believed to be taken in part from a motto dating back to ancient times. The most popular variation is:
“Through rain or snow, or sleet or hail, we’ll carry the mail. We will not fail”.
Make it a point to catch your mail carrier on his or her route today. Give him or her a great big smile and a great big “TY”. If you happen to visit your local post office, give them a thank you, too.
Charlie and I will be making a card and snacks for our mailman this morning.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
