I guess you could say “old school”…?? We actually have a mailbox and a mailman that comes to our street. I wouldn’t say that they use high tech to alert them of the changes in residency. We opened our mailbox after a few days of being here and saw the correction had been made. : ) The kids love to get the mail-sometimes several times a day. I have tried to educate them on the mail delivery process but they don’t seem to listen. One would think I lock them in the house and their only opportunity out is "mail time.” They love getting the mail so much that they willingly empty our neighbors box and deliver it to their door. BUT, unfortunately that didn’t last long because their son loves to get the mail just as much as my kids. Zane is often missing and I know exactly where to look-at the mailbox. The other night we were sitting for dinner and had called Zane to the table several times. I figured he had fallen asleep but decided to hunt him down. I found him outside at our front neighbors home playing on their steps to the door. Man oh man, I bet they are wishing for different neighbors. : )
Anyhow, the moral of the story is that having our own mailbox in front of our home is proving to be great recreation for the Heuer children.
Oh how we long for the simple things of days gone by. You had one in your front yard the whole time you were growing up and never gave it a second thought. See how much fun you missed!

Posted by lisa | 18. Aug, 2010, 12:15 amThanks for this cute blog. Now that I know how fascinated Zane is with getting the mail I’ll start sending cards & letters to him and Zoe. It will be a surprise for him when he finds that he got a letter :-)
