Friday Letters

 




Dear Bucky,

You may not boast 100+ gas pumps and 250 smiling employees ... but your customer service is unparalleled.

We handed you the keys to my aging Camry -- fully expecting an expensive transmission repair -- but no.   After several hours diagnostics you called to say you couldn't find anything amiss.  Not only that, but you wouldn't accept any $ for your time!



Dear Nike,

I don't make a habit of chasing brand names.  Yet, when I spotted a brand-new pair in my size at an estate sale, I grabbed the box and hung on!

Unfortunately, on only the second wearing, just look!

I consulted Google, and guess what?
There's a lot more folks who've experienced the same problems.

Thank goodness I didn't pay retail, but in this case, you don't always get what you pay for!



Dear Millbrook Post Office,

I suspect it's against regulations -- but when I got home and realized I'd goofed on a mailing address, what did you do?  You went back, found my parcel and allowed me to make the correction ... all with a big smile.

I love small-town America!



Dear loved ones,

When you texted me this photo, why it made my whole day year!

You've got mail!
1952-1981

It was always a big deal when, as a child, my dad would let me check the mail.  I can still feel the weight of that old key in my hand.
I don't recall getting much 'junk mail' -- but what a letdown when I'd peer inside to see it empty.

All these years I've incorporated Box #xxx in my records; even as part of an old e-mail address.
Silly, perhaps, but seeing it again warms my heart.


P.S.
Sorry for asking if you'd "gone over to the other side."
It gave you a good laugh knowing I'd mistaken the Atlanta Braves logo on your cap for the University of Alabama.
Oops!



Dear friends,

Thank you for visiting ... please, have a joy-full day!


Hugs, Myra

  1. How nice and heart-warming it is when we get good service. I had my car booked for its annual maintenance service. On the day in question, I could not make it. I rang the garage. They sent two people to pick up the car and return it when the service was done.

    So annoying when one buys a good product that breaks or is faulty so quickly.

    It's rare to get good service these days. Some shop assistants don't know the first thing about the products they are selling. For example, computers and technical gadgets.

    God bless.

  4. I love your letters, and as I read these I was thinking why don't I have anyone to write letters about. upon pondering, i have decided its because I only see Bob, I have not been in a post office in about 10 years, or a car repair, never had a keyed mail box.
    so unless someone comes to me under my rock i live under there will be not dear whomever letters from me. you do it so well it makes me want to write letters to people.
    Dear Myra, I love you...and your letters.

  6. Dear Myra, thank you for this lovely letter. I feel like I've been visiting with an old friend...and well, maybe we haven't known each other all that long, but I still feel like we're old friends...and not just because we are the same age! We lived through the same era, fads, comedies, tragedies, and new inventions. We never had a post office box, however, but if someone sent me a picture of my parents' old mailbox, I know I'd cry. (my sister did one day, and I did cry!) I hope you are enjoying a lovely Friday. Love, Pam

  7. I really enjoyed your letters - I had no idea Bucky's had a place to work on cars.

    1. No, I don't think they do. This is a different company (Bucky's) v. Buckees.

  8. My car repair place has similar standards. Now that we've moved it's no longer the closest facility, but will always be the one I go to.

  9. I received some great service yesterday and sent an email to the supervisor. He wrote back thanking me and said he would pass the compliment on. Yes, hurray for thoughtful people!

  13. So glad your car didn't require any work at all and that they didn't charge you for looking into it. That is good service for sure. Good service at your post office too! Glad they took the time to find your parcel and let you change the address. You are very blessed ! Love, ma
