May 2012

I live in a high rise and our regular carrier retired. We have a different postal carrier each day and unlike the retired carrier, none of the new ones posted a sign about it. I will go shopping tomorrow. I was a teacher and I always think about the kids when I donate. Since summer is coming up, I look for powdered fruit drink mixes, cereals, and other "kid friendly" food. I also look at the sugar and carbohydrate percentages on the items, also.
