We were just about to make the tough call between sea kelp, abstract expressionists, distinguished sailors, justices of the supreme court, and Gary Cooper. Yes, there is a stamp with wedding rings on it, but gag. COWBOYS win by a landslide.

Hey c'mon....am I the only one reading this gripping blog? And yes, I agree, the cowboy stamp is the way to go. Yippee Ki Yi Ki Yo!!
nix on the extra "ki".
I believe this cowboy wedding was all foreordained in 1982 when we were living in Arkansas. And the nearest hospital with an OB ( as opposed to a GP) was in Texarkana TEXAS. So that was the beginning, on a lovely April morning.... Only 2 years later, a certain red head in our family won a contest at the company picnic ( guess how much money is in the jar). I asked this lucky young fellow what he wanted to buy with his winnings. He answered, "Cowboy boots." So we purchased a pair of micro cowboy boots which were a hit everywhere except when he wore them on the jungle gym. Do your musicians know any tunes by Riders in the Sky?
Hey Allison. We have to get you writing on the USPS Facebook page. Fans like you USPS needs. Best, Sidney
