I’m not just all about seashells, pearls, superficial Chanel desires, baking crazy healthy food, (s)mothering my Angel Boy child, and going to the gym. Well, I mostly am all those things–but additionally, as the wife of a proud Merchant Marine who abandoned me went back out to sea (to be able to buy me a Chanel), I offer a salute to Merchant Marines past and present. In spite of the fact that I’ve had a few delivery issues with our postal service, I love my mailman (whoa, that did NOT come out right, ha ha!). I continue to buy stamps and mail some correspondence and pay a few bills by snail mail instead of doing absolutely everything online.
How about we give a round of applause to all the mail that actually does make it to its destination!

Saluting the Merchant Marines!
I’ll pass the salute on to the captain and I’m sure he’ll salute you right back!

*a round of applause* Salute!
I love the stamps!
Thank you! I am an advocate for US made products and services. We need to build up our own economy and self reliance!
