TT 13 Mailboxes
I haven't mailed a letter in years. That's right, years. What can't be scanned and emailed? What can't be paid for over the Internet? Someday mailboxes may go the way of buggy whips, although most of you have no idea what a buggy whip looks like. So before they disappear, let's look at 13 mailboxes.
1. Old Milk Churn Mail Box, 2. Cow Mail Box Left Side, 3. God's Mailbox - P.O. Box Salvation Mountain,
4. Mail box HDR, 5. Big Boy says you've got mail 1, 6. ≈ mailbox mudra ≈,
7. SF Dec 2003 mail box Sebastapol, 8. Cow Mail Box Right Side, 9. mail_deer,
10. Folk Art Mail Box, 11. Pump Box, 12. Ninja turtle mail box?

Comments from Old Comment System
- If you want to keep the mailboxes going, you could participate in a revolution I am trying to start called Snail Mail Sunday (http://dibookblogetc.typepad.com/my_weblog/snail_mail_sunday/index.html) I'm suggesting everyone write ONE handwritten note and mail it once a week. It's been fun so far. A neighbor of ours (with a house on the water where manatees frolic) has this manatee mailbox: http://www.customdesignmailbox.com/designs/manatee/picture.html At Thanksgiving it wears a pilgrim hat, at Christmas a Santa hat, etc.
- I love those pictures. Outstanding post!
- Those are great! I love them. I hadn't thought of it but I haven't mailed any letters in years either - only mail letters to my son in Iraq. It's kinda sad in a way - I love finding old letters/journals from people long gone and getting an idea of who that person was from their writings. But I suppose we can do that with our blogs now! lol I put up pics too for TT. I would trackback, but my trackbacks never seem to come through over here :(
- The only mail I receive are my beloved catalogs and Capital One's attempts to sign-me up for a credit card. I still love receiving and sending birthday cards. I think it's a great idea to send one hand-written note a week - must be many people who would enjoy, and benefit from, a personal note. Loved the mailboxes - especially Sebastapol. Sorry this is so late on TT. It's my first and I'm slow. Maggie M. Thornton
- Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed searching for unusual mailboxes. Perhaps my next 13 will be weird front doors.
