A Library Card And A Stamp On The Ocean

Did you ever notice the Post Office at Davis Park? I know you have walked by it. It is a little building across the boardwalk from the firehouse. In all the years I have been going to Davis Park, Fire Island - I never went there either.

The kids and I brought some post cards at The Davis Park Store and went off to the Post Office to mail them. It is a very small building, but there is a regular mini Post Office in it. And half of the Post Office is shared with The Davis Park Library.

There is the Post Office clerk in her uniform standing next to the librarian. It is sort of funny and it gives you an old time feeling. We purchased post card stamps for our cards and mailed them off. Then we signed two kids books out of the library. When you are done with the books you can return them in mailbox in front of the Post Office.

The next time you are at Davis Park stop in The Post Office - Library, it's fun!

Schooling In The Home

The lady who lived in our house before us home schooled four children, so we get lots of home schooling catalogs. I actually looked at one the other day and place an order today. It is called Trend for Kids - PreK to Grade 9.

They have all sort of fun and interesting things to help your kids learn. I ordered a bunch of sight word flash cards, addition cards and some charts on the world and rain. My kids are very interested in maps and ask me all the time where rain comes from. My total for seven items with shipping was $25 - a bargain. I have gone to the "teacher store" and purchased similar items and paid much more. The flash cards were $2.99 for over 100 cards at Trends for Kids.
