Sean and I were on our walk this morning and for what ever reason, I was noticing all sorts of funny mailboxes. So, I said to Sean, “what does your mail box say about you?” The commentary was hilarious as we were walking.
There was one small row of fairly plain metal mail boxes, and then about 2 feet away, a shiny black one with red hot fire flames. It was positioned on a BRIGHT shiny yellow post. Others were broken down, one had booger green sponge-painted flowers with red hand-painted numbers on the front……someone who is seriously color challenged. We thought the John Deere mail box, painted bright green from top to bottom standing all on it’s own (again 2 feet from a row of plain boxes) is the rugged individulalist that is saying, “Look at me!”
As for us, we have the a plain old mailbox that sits in a row of about 8 other plain old mail boxes. The only thing that sets us apart is the numbers on the boxes. I wonder if I were to spruce mine up, what would happen? OR maybe I should take mine out of the row of 8 and set it all on it’s own. I might start a neighborhood rival! Let’s raise the bar people!
What does your mailbox say about you?
Mine is just a box in a sea of other boxes here at the apartments. It’s rather lame, actually. I wish I had a cool mailbox. Maybe I’ll decorate the one I have and then it will be cool.
Welcome Ryan. Yes, decorate your box! Make it your own. Maybe you’ll start something in your complex! Thanks for stopping by!
mine is in a group of 4. 4 very pathetic looking boxes. we’re not pathetic people. hmmm….i might have to change ours now too. i get mostly junk mail so maybe i should decorate mine to look like a trash can
I’ve always been attracted to mailboxes. Especially nicely decorated ones. I used to have a cottage garden and my mailbox was right next to an arbor with a Cecile Brunner rose climbing over it. There was a white gate and a picket fence. The mailbox was dull and grey. So I painted it periwinkle blue with different colored flowers. The flag I painted in red and white chekerboard. It was whimsical. What does it say about me? (Back to the question). I want to be a happy, joyful person, not dull or grey. I want to give something beautiful to others. And I want to be myself and express myself without fear! Also I want to bless my mailman who walks a long way, 6 days a week, carrying a heavy bag so I can get my mail. Debra
Tam…you funny girl! yah, just what you want to do in your spare time huh?
A trash can is actually not a bad idea!
Don’t you just love randomness?
There you go again, thinking about others mom! You are endearing! Your mail boxes have ALWAYS put mine to shame!
I’m seriously going to do something about this.
Maybe we should have a before and after contest? HA!!
We don’t have a mailbox. Just one of those “neighborhood” 10 little slots in a big steel box.
My mail box has been asaulted by my neighbor’s big black truck about 5 times, maybe I should wire it up with some flashing lights and the required school bus beeping noise.
Beck, Thank you for stopping by!
You funny girl! I think maybe moving your mailbox might be easier:-) HA
MWAH!! love you!
