Marleewood Gets A Notice From The Local Post Office

One day Grandma Lu saw Grandma B getting into her car with a sackful of groceries. "Hi, "B," what are you up to today?"
Grandma B grinned and said, "Well, Marlee and I were just on our way over to Marleewood to do some baking. We are running low on snacks for folks that drop in."
"Would you like some company? I have my chores done at home and of course, I would love a snack and a cup of coffee. What are you two making today?"
Grandma B chuckled and teased her friend, "You always love snacks and a cup of coffee. We are going to make some cupcakes today. Marlee loves to help lick the batter off the beater and is a really good helper when it comes to frosting them." They both laughed as they got into their cars and headed on over to Marleewood.
When they got to Marleewood there was a note on the door. It was from the local post person. They suggested that Marleewood get their own mailbox because they were getting so much mail. It would be much easier to deliver it than to have someone pick it up. The mail was beginning to be too much to store at the post office. "Well, I wonder why we are getting so much mail all of a sudden," said Grandma B. "I guess we should get one. It's not a big deal. It would be nicer to have it delivered here anyway because we aren't always here. I had better go down to the Post Office, though and pick up what mail they have then I will get a mailbox for the mail delivery."
Grandma Lu loved the cupcakes. They were so good. All three of them visited about the wonderful tree house party they had out at Kenlee and Kylee's and Aadon's grandparents' place. They all had had such a good time, and of course, Grandma Lu mentioned how good the s'mores were.
The next day Grandma B went to the post office to pick up the mail for Marleewood. The lady at the counter said, "Oh, I am so glad you came to pick up the mail. We don't have room to store all of these letters. Are you going to put up a mailbox?" Grandma B nodded but frowned when she saw the big boxes of mail the lady gave her. She said, "Are you sure all of this mail is for Marleewood?" The lady assured her that it was and went to wait on another person that was waiting at the counter.
Grandma B lugged the big boxes out to the car and took it to Marleewood. "Well part of this is my fault. I haven't picked up the mail since before the Wish Party we gave Grandma Lu." She started looking at all of the letters. A lot of them were for Grandma Lu. "Why are so many people writing letters to Grandma Lu? I'm going to call her and ask her to come over here. I want to see what is going on."
Grandma Lu answered the phone a little bit grumpy because her friend had  woke her up from her nap. "What's going on, "B"?"
 Grandma B said, "I think you need to come on over to Marleewood. The post office had two big boxes of mail for Marleewood. Lots of the letters are for you. There are also a lot for Marlee. She's just a little girl, why would people send her mail? I'll be back in about an hour. I'm going down to pick up a mailbox that I saw downtown. It's cute and has flowers already planted in it." Grandma Lu said, "What? Flowers in a mailbox? What are you talking about?"
That is a very interesting question isn't it? Why would an elderly lady and a little girl start getting so much mail? Flowers in a mail box? Poor Grandma Lu.
