Phonebooks?

I thought I should blog on this so Jeff and Dan can say next year "remember!?" Well, last week I was perusing the want adds, as I usually do every day, and I saw this add "Need people to deliver phone books locally". I thought I could do that and so could Dan, and hopefully Jeff will help us with his muscles. So I called and they told us to come to a meeting the next day, thursday, at 1 and they would get us started. How exciting to get a job the next day where you don't wait for weeks and then do a background check, take pictures of drivers license, s.s. cards, etc... So we went to the meeting and signed up for three routes 'cause there were three of us there. Then they had Jeff pull the pickup around and loaded a full pallet and filled the back with loose bundles of books in the back seat and Dans car was fully loaded. Then the guy says that is a little over half of what you will need. I wish I had taken a picture! It was incredible how many phone books that pickup could hold. So we drive slowly home. The guy told us a pallet weighs about 1800 pounds. In total we had about 3 1/2 pallets to deliver! I'll make this a short story 'cause it was hard brain work. We had to find the address' and deliver all these books. The sad thing was they put the address' in alphabetical order. What town in the U.S. does there streets in alphabetical order? For petes sake!


When we did the rural route in St. Anthony, which I thought was a city route, we came across some of the most dumpiest places on earth. What a dump! UGGGHHH! We kept thinking of Jeremy saying I just need a little trailer from the '70's and we'll be fine. Well, Jeremy you will see these the next time you come for a visit. My Goodness!

Here is a great site to go to in case you get one of these phone books and aren't sure what to do with it: http:www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pGvEGFkvNs


Well, until the next blog. :-)

Send her a belated birthday wish anyway if you didn't get to her earlier. Our pictures aren't in the computer like they were before so I'm having a hard time finding most recent pictures, also. Sorry!

Since we call everyone for there birthdays and sing I'm just gonna put it up for you to decide if you want us to continue to sing or as Caetie put it "Don't give up your day job!" Take a vote and let us know, to sing or not to sing, that is the question. Leave your comments and we'll do what the votes say. (Of course I hope we don't have to sing) :-)
