After 5 years though it is still going strong. I drive from Houston to los angeles 2 times weekly and it sure is nice to come home to a small town.bctruckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673789646465936609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-19339686034559031492009-11-01T20:15:09.929-07:002009-11-01T20:15:09.929-07:00I used to live in a town like that and loved it. ...I used to live in a town like that and loved it. The crazy post mistress loved to weigh everyone's babies and remembered how much they weighed the last time you were in.

Unfortunately (or on some days, fortunately) I have to drive to the base my husband works at - an hour round trip - to check ours when he's gone. However, the up side is on nice days we can stop at the beach or a Japanese store or restaurant for fun as well. I still only drag myself over there once a week though - toddler + rain + multiple tropical storms + slow mail systems = not worth more than once a week drive.<br /><br />Maybe I should take the Marines there some produce..... *grin*Meloniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218572127310877215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-89266168639013378072009-10-30T16:48:57.590-06:002009-10-30T16:48:57.590-06:00Oh yes, momnerd, if you know you have a package bu...Oh yes, momnerd, if you know you have a package but have no way of getting to the post office when they're open, OR it's crazy cold and you have little ones you have to bundle up just to go get the mail, the no delivery thing is insanely frustrating!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13564720462613298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215545723237458252.post-59548274056204879672009-10-30T13:34:15.996-06:002009-10-30T13:34:15.996-06:00You make it sound so lovely but it never seemed th...You make it sound so lovely but it never seemed that way to me. Although maybe because I never went at the right time for socializing, or at the right time to get produce. But I do have to say, I am loving my mail box!
