Uncovered Wealth

I have a small drawer near the kitchen phone where I keep envelopes, stamps, return labels, and miscellaneous greeting cards.

I have a small box in there where I keep postage stamps. There's usually a booklet of 20 stamps right on top. I order my stamps through the mail which saves gas and time waiting in line.

I knew I was getting low on stamps and supplemental stamps since the postal increase. I dug into my stash the other day and was surprised how many old stamps were in the bottom on the box.

Yesterday I bought sheets of $.01 and $.02 stamps enough to bring the uncovered old stamps to the current $.42 need. I had $.29, $.22, $.34 and $.37 stamps.

So, for a while now, everything I mail will have several attached stamps. The few $.22 will be used with ten $.02 stamps. I'll use my uncovered wealth and plaster the envelopes with colorful stamps.

'til later
