Mailbox Makeover Gets Way Over Done!

Yes, we do need another hobby......but the mailbox just keeps needing more stuff. Gotta have an outhouse...DUH!

The Fully "Tricked Out" Mailbox

The log cabin mailbox was just screaming for decoration so we couldn't resist. A few musical instruments, a rocking chair, a fishing pole and it now looks like a pretty nice place to live. The neighborhood kids like it...and the neighborhood banjo player.

Todd, the "Green" Engineer

Todd and Mom pose for a pic as Todd leaves Ft Smith to go to his summer job in Little Rock. He will be working for Viridian (www.viridianUSA.com) which is a consulting and construction firm specializing in "eco friendly" buildings. They have an interesting list of things you must do if you would like one of them to come and speak at your event. No styrofoam cups, print on both sides of paper if paper is really necessary (email is strongly encouraged) but the one Todd thought was the most interesting was that if beer is served a keg is the way to go! No sense in wasting all those bottles. Yes, I believe Todd will fit in with his employers and enjoy his summer!

We miss you already Todd!!

Mailbox gets a Home Makeover!

The Spain's mailbox was looking pretty shabby. It was time for a little home makeover, or so Suzanne said. Here's the result, built as a late Mother's Day gift. I've always wanted a log cabin....this is as close as I'll probably ever get but at least it has a banjo by the door!
