We just started getting milk delivered to our home. I didn't know there were still people out there doing that!

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

we used to. i had no idea people did it either. i mean just milk...i know alot of grocery stores deliver...we even had a 'milk box' in the house i grew up in but now it's used for mail.

curious...is it the same price as the store? and is that all you have delivered? or do you get all the groceries delivered?

When I was a kid we had a milk delivery thing as a novelty for a bit. When my grandfather was in the process of passing away, the last conversation I had with him, he thought he was still the milkman and he was thinking back so fondly about it.

My oldest dated a milkman very briefly. He started his route around 3:00am, which means he was ready to sleep mid-afternoon. Kinda hard to date and have any social life.

Delivered milk was the norm when I was a child, and milk runs were sufficiently lucrative that

the milko always drove a new car and a milk run was worth about half the price of a modest house.

Then times changed.

Hmmmmmmm, full cream milk poured from the bottle on a frosty morning.
