The Mailbox Books
Giveaway Reminder
Here’s hoping your weekend was tops. I spent some time moving dust around in my attic. Lots of sneezing took place and a couple of squeals. I can’t help it; spiders—even dead ones—give me the creeps!

Geeks-Are-Great Giveaway!
Our building is currently surrounded by geeks! 🙂 Some construction is taking place nearby, so my guess is the local squad of computer-savvy geeks is here to work their computer magic. I find it funny that I spent the first 20 or so years of my life trying not to be a geek, and now…

Got a Pocket Chart?
I have no idea who invented the pocket chart; however, my guess is it was a teacher! In fact, I’ll shave my head if it wasn’t a teacher. Well, maybe not. But my point is teachers sure know how to put a pocket chart to good use. I mean, let’s think about it. When can’t…
