Dillard: Saga of delivery notices

Back when Black Friday actually occurred the Friday after Thanksgiving, I was the “Princess of Black Friday”! My mom was the “Queen.” Oh, the adventures we had, and I hold many precious memories about going through the newspaper after Thanksgiving lunch, making a list, planning out what time we would be where, etc. Alas, now, stores have taken this away. Walmart Black Friday sales started Nov. 12. It’s sad that retail has taken away this true shopping experience. So, a few years back I became the “Queen of Online Shopping.” Yes, it is a self-proclaimed title, but I have to admit, I wear it well. Oh, it’s not just a seasonal title; I wear it year ‘round. Jerry has learned just to grab the packages from the porch and bring them inside. He never asks what’s in them. He just “bows” to the Queen. Most of the time, I have no issues with Fed Ex and UPS. They deliver promptly, and I love the picture I receive when things are delivered – all my treasures posing on my front porch.
