Happy Spring to everyone in the Northern Hemisphere! And, Happy Autumn
to those in the Southern Hemisphere!
Around here, last week was Spring Break for many students, although it's feeling more like summer. Today's high is expected to be 94 degrees without a drop of rain in the forecast!
This past
weekend, my family and I traveled across the state to see my mom and my brother
and his family. After a shopping trip with my mom, she wanted to take the back
roads home and stop at the little country post office not far from her house.
She mailed a couple of cards, and I snapped some photos of the Knickerbocker,
Texas, Post Office. There’s not much else in Knickerbocker, but the post office
serves the residents in southwestern Tom Green County. It’s located in a red
brick building that was constructed in 1926 as a school. The space is shared
with the community center.
I like to buy stamps online at usps.com because there are so many
stamps available, but I also try to make time to stop by the local post office
to give them some business. Online shopping is fun, but we do still need brick-and-mortar
post offices! Visit one in your town today! Buy some stamps! Mail some letters!
Happy letterwriting!
I did a double take the moment I saw the historical marker. Had to Google the town. :) They're enjoying 89 degree temp. There was a population of 50 in 1990. "The population remained the same in 2000." (Handbook of Texas.)
