How did twenty-plus years go by so quickly? I opened The Pinehills Post Office in January of 2004 and haven't looked back since. I can honestly say that I love my job. But it's not just the job—it's the people that make me love it so much. The staff I work with each week over the years, including those who have left us for various reasons, are a big part of what I love. We care about each other, and that is a special thing to find in your work environment.

Special thanks to Valerie, Joyce, and Sue for all your hard work each day—I truly appreciate all that you do to keep the post office running smoothly.

I also love the residents that make up this community. They stop in for mail but end up in a chat with us, or a neighbor they haven't seen in a while, or someone from a workout class that they have been missing. We talk about life and family, joys and sadness—this is a place of safety and kindness.

I receive much-needed support and guidance from both Diane Kimmerle and Deb Sedares and want to let them know here how much I appreciate them both. I also want to thank Debbie McNamara and Suzanne Stone for their endless help over the years. You have been my touchstone from the post office to The Summerhouse.

I love being part of the business community here in The Pinehills. I can grab breakfast at The Blueberry Muffin, pick up lunch from Mamma Mia's, peruse the shelves at Book Love, pick up fixings for dinner at The Market or gas up at Levis before I head home. I am greeted warmly at each of these places by their amazing and hard-working staff.

I am grateful that I have been a part of growing this community and am excited to see what the future holds.
