My first package!

 I was so excited in February to have my first package arrive from Mom and Dad!
Inside the box was stuffed with all kinds of little things that I love and am still enjoying.
I knew the day I went to pick it up from the post office would be a learning experience and I was happy with my navigation skills at the post office.  They make you go through quite the scavenger hunt, but it was so very worth it!
Step One: Know to go upstairs, past the office where a bunch of people are blocking the hallway and around the corner where you will find a counter. 
Step Two:  At the counter give them your slip saying you have a package.  They will then pull out a stack of papers and find the one that came from your package (yes that form you have to fill out in the post office is very important here).
Step Three: Go back around the corner to Office Number 1 they will copy your information into a ledger and ask you to wait in the hall.  You can amuse yourself by watching the men bring in bags of packages and put them in a huge mount blocking the door into the next room full of shelves of packages and wonder how your package ever got processed.
Step Four: Go back into office to 2nd desk where you get to hold and open your package!  You get to show the man what you got, and he will be rather uninterested in your heart towels, papers and candy.  He fills out more papers and something on his computer.  Then gives you papers for the manager to sign.
Step Five: Find the manager's office...he signs your papers and tells you to go to the front desk.
Step Six:  Back to the counter where you started, changing over of papers and signatures take place.  Told to go to Office Number 3 to pay the processing fees.
Step Seven:  Go pay the fee and get a reciept
Step Eight: Finally get to go back to Office Number 1 and take your package home!
Step Nine: Ride taxi home and at your door landlady invites you in for tea.
Step Ten:  Share your candy hearts and have a fabulous afternoon with your landlady.

So it goes something like that.
