My Dad would have been 89 today, Sister. I know you're thinking a lot of your dad too. They gave us so much.Reynaldo D. Reyes August 17, 2012
Great dedication Laura, this one is so pretty for a mailbox. One of these days John will probably get a record for having the most mailboxes photographed. The owner of this mailbox is so creative, love the way the color and details match with flowers on the ground. #10280479Max Aureli August 18, 2012

I think the word "Mailbox" is synonymous with "John" now! LOL! I knew right away that this would be dedicated to the Mailbox King! Excellent capture of this beautifully decorated box! Just think ... You can have gorgeous flowers all year round! Great find and dedication, Sis! :) #10289376Chris Ebben August 26, 2012

So pretty, Laura, and such great coordination! A real treat for the eyes! And what could be more cheerful than flowers AND a mailbox for these special get well wishes! Hope you're feeling better soon, John! #10294518Laura E. Swan August 28, 2012
Hi Barbara and Rona! :)))So very nice to see you ladies here!!!
Wouldn't it be fun to have a mail box this artsy??? I'd love it...but then a person would have to have the white picket fence, too, and maybe that would just be asking for too much??? :D
It's always a pleasure seeing you in my gallery!!!
Night night!
-Laura :))
