Bomb Threat

As I was preparing for my morning run, I decided I would like to add to my 5 mile run an extra mile or so. So to know how far I was running extra I used my kitchen timer and stuck it to my metal mailbox and went running. Then I could compare my normal 5 mile run to what I ran this morning by comparing time. I figured with the price of gas why drive around to measure I will just time compare. You know me always frugal and right now it is all about saving gas. As I rounded Paddlebrook by the pond, opposite side of our house I saw that a car had just pulled away from the driveway. Didn't think anything of it. I knew L was at home and that J and P were sleeping.
Then I asked L who dropped off something. "oh it was just the post office coming out to check on our mailbox and to tell us our mail did not get delivered because our mailbox looked suspicious." lol
As a side note today is the alternate carriers day to deliver mail and she was early. my mail carrier usually does not come for another hour. I thought about the timer on the mailbox but thought I will be back anyway before mail gets delivered.
Next time I expect the terrorist, drug sniffing dogs, and the Nappanee SWAT team will be here to check out my mailbox.

I have to tell you I copletely sympathize with the no camera problem...I'm trying to figure out how our family will make it through the summer with only one. I leave for basic on Sunday morning and wanted to blog that for the kids,but you know Mike HAS to blog the kids for me while I am away.....what to do? (I guess we do have bigger things to concern ourselves with, but you know....)

have a great summer =)
