Paper Route Week One
Sarah came home from school expecting her papers to be in the driveway..they weren't. An hour goes by, still no papers. Finally she calls her manager and leaves a message. Around 5PM the papers show up.
Our kitchen table becomes folding and stuffing central. She also had an insert with her picture on it explaining she was the new carrier. She packed as many papers as she could in her black bag that she carries to school.
I went to the basement and dug out a Herald-Dispatch paper carriers bag that was given to me as a treasure from Papaw. She bundled up...it was in the low teens...and saddled up on her bike. Off she went into the darkness. A little later I heard the door open and close. I went ot investigate and found Michael in his pj's and boots with a flashlight in hand. He was going to stand in the driveway and watch out for Sarah. That didn't last too long...it was way to cold for pj bottoms. She came back up the driveway just in time to make it to church. Day one complete.
