Mr. Postman

I have a really nice mailman.  I love how organized he is.  He parks his truck up the road a bit and then walks to each house and makes his way back to his truck.  I know it’s a bit old-fashioned.  He actually comes to each house and takes the outgoing mail and leaves the incoming mail. 

There are many mailboxes today that hold all the mail for the neighborhood.  You have to take a key and get your mail – you often don’t see the mail delivered or the person who delivers it. 

Our mailman is very efficient and seems to get the job done quickly.  Another interesting thing about him is that he always wears shorts.  No matter what the weather, he’s in shorts.  Sometimes he wears a sweatshirt or a hat if it’s raining.  I’ve asked him before if he was warm enough.  I am inside the house with jeans, and five layers of shirts and sweatshirts on and he’s outside delivering the mail in shorts and a light jacket.  I’ve known other people in my life who wear shorts all year long – there’s something about them that is fun.

My mailman is a really nice guy who talks to the dogs and waves to the people in my neighborhood.  He’s especially nice when he brings me letters and packages from my friends and family!
