He retired after 34 years, that man would deliver in the rain and snow and during the hot summer days we’d have a glass pitcher with ice cubes and lemonade waiting for him, sweat running down the sides. He'd sit on the front porch with us to take a breather and just chat.😁👍

My mailman hid a package from my dad so no one could see it. It was a keepsake box and I've been collecting them for over 30 years..., my boxes hold trinkets and memories. My dad is 80 years old, I haven't seen him in 8 years and he was supposed to come see me but I told him to stay home, I didn't want him flying in a confined metal tube during a pandemic. If some porch pirate had stolen it I would've been devestated. My box is the best out of all that I have..., I love my dad and my mailman.

    Humankind I am not sure how you ended up in my rotation, but I'm glad you did. It is GREAT FANTASTIC and AMAZINGLY AWESOME to see people just simply LOVING and APPRECIATING each other. There's a song that says Open the eyes of MY HEART and this neighborhood exemplifies that. I'm just touched.
