During the past month we've been on the road a lot and got off the highway for parts of the drive. This lead us through darling little towns here I looked at all the types of businesses there were on the main street. I now have a list that is way longer than our 12 blocks, so today I selected the 'Post Office'. It's where all our goodies come into and it's where we send out those precious packages. Some of you even work at the post office.
