I have had some bad experiences with my milk lately. It seems like in a few days it is getting a funny taste - long before it expires. That totally grosses me out. Some people really cherish a good cup of coffee. I really enjoy fresh, fresh milk. So one of my friends told me she has the milkman come to her house... what? I didn't know they still do that. Well, they do. My milkman just left.
He is going to stop by every Wednesday and deliver me fresh milk. I can also buy eggs, cottage cheese, ice cream, whipping cream, oh, there is a whole long list. I bought some strawberry milk to put in my Strawberry Frosted Mini-Wheat's... pretty good.
So I have an old milk box on my porch. The milkman saw that and said, I can leave your items in there in the future if you aren't home... I don't discriminate (my milk box was from a different dairy farm. I got it at an antique store.) I told him, "no thanks" since mine is kinda yucky inside. But I might buy a new one from him. I think this is the neatest thing...
I really do live in Mayberry...

OK, I remember the milkman from when I was a kid. What company is this and do they have "rural routes"?
I bet they would come to you Sandy...

I'm jealous. I've thought a hundred times I'd love milk delivered fresh to my home. With a side of coffee. :)
