Joe,While we are talking about mailboxes here……I have quite a story for you.
Our road is terrible, the farmers have done their best to plow us out---all for free. The mailboxes are buried with snow & ice, and the mailman doesn’t have to deliver in those situations (although, she is wonderful & hasn’t been complaining at all).
Well, yesterday one of our neighbors rang our doorbell offering an apology….. He had borrowed a backhoe/digger of some sort & decided to help dig out some of the mailboxes on our road.
Well, somehow our mailbox didn’t survive the round with the backhoe! He told us what happened, apologized, and promised to replace it immediately—he came back within an hour & replaced the pole & put the mailbox back. We told him not to worry about it, but he insisted. Today he came back with concrete to complete the job!

ReplyDeleteNow, Thats what I am talking about! Good ole' boy!
ReplyDeleteThe plows took our mailbox out. We are out by The Old Mill in Delmar. They didn't offer to fix it. Imagine that!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the mail anyway? My neighborhood hasn't gotten any mail since last week. Where is it?
ReplyDeleteYes, the plows took my mailbox also in a Wicomico Cty neighborhood. One day they plowed 5 feet away from the curb then next the box was gone. Well anyway I'm glad they are plowing. Does anyone know if the county will fix them?
