Sock weather and things I love about my hometown (pt.2)

I love that my dad's basement has linoleum. Since it's sock and sweater weather now- it's perfect for saving a few steps by sliding across the floors. it's not much... but I'm always a little hesitant to start wearing socks in general- so some enjoyment of it makes the adjustment easier.

And in other news, Here's a story continuing in my "Things I love about my hometown" segment:

My dad is selling his old house.

Paul- our postman and the father of my sister's classmate- wears a blue tooth headset when he's on his route. Since he knew we weren't living at the old house (but hadn't forwarded our address yet) he gave my dad a call when there was a package waiting there.

Since my dad works 50 miles away, I went into town- picked up the 'sorry we missed you' slip- and called Paul.

And then drove to his current location to pick up my mail.

In a large city, it's suspicious when a person parks their car behind the postal truck and waits awkwardly for the postman to get back.

In my hometown- not so much... especially considering the block he was on is home to my dentist, three childhood friends, and a house we rented when I was in third grade.



Sorry-- this story is kind of pointless, but I wanted to share anyway :)
