Meet your neighbors
Sometimes UPS brings packages. Sometimes it brings you the chance to meet one of your neighbors. I heard a knock on the door today and it was UPS dropping off a package. I opened the door and scooped it up. It was from someone in Germany.I looked at who it was to, and it was the right house number, but the wrong street. So I looked them up and called. They were only a block or so away and at home. So we just walked to meet each other. It's a beautiful day out there too.
It was from her sister and I'm so glad I didn't just open it without looking at who it was addressed to. It was like being able to give someone a gift without having to do anything, but step out the door.

I was actually born in Germany. My Dad was in the air force.
I didn't look at the package too close, but I think it was from someone in service. I would not have wanted their package to get lost.
It's such a nice feeling when you can do something for someone that means so much.
P.S. I love your paintings on the sidebar. :)
Thank you, I decided if I was going to promote anything - why not me ;-)
