Treat

Last week, we got a new front door. It was an exciting day because we've really needed a new front door for a long time. Our house is over 100 years old and sometimes it felt like our door was as old as the house. It really is a neat door, but it let in a lot of air and the insulation was horrible. We've already felt a huge difference in how warm our house is so hooray for that! 

One of the best parts of our old door was that we had a mail slot. Griffin loved poking his hand through it and watching things happen outside. It also was a race to the slot everyday when we would hear our mail carrier drop the mail through. Griffin liked to go and pick up the mail and I liked to see what was waiting for me. Nine out of ten times, it's always boring stuff like bills or advertisements. It was so much worse during political season-- for months, we would get anywhere from 8-12 mailers PER DAY. It seemed like such a waste of paper to me, but I called them Griffin's mail and he would play with them. Free toys, thank you very much.

We have a really cute new mailbox to go along with our door, but I've already been missing that telltale clank of the slot that alerted me that our mail was being delivered each day (even though it scared the heck out of me most days and usually made me think someone was breaking into our house). Checking the mail always is like looking for a little surprise. The art of sending mail isn't as common as it once was, but I love getting a little happy in the mail whether it's a note, thank you card, catalog, or letter.
