Do you ever find yourself sitting at home, needing or wanting something but don’t feel like going out? How about the disappointment of waking up on Monday morning to find that there is no milk, for cereal, in the refrigerator? Well, if you remember the era of the door to door salesman, chances are that you had that milk on Monday morning!

As a child, I remember the milk man coming twice a week with a fresh half-gallon of milk. He would quietly walk up the driveway, open the insulated, metal milk box on the back porch, remove the empty glass milk bottle, replace it with a full one and take the milk money out of the Tupperware cup inside. That is the only way I remember getting milk until I was at least 10 years old. We were also visited by the egg man and the bread man. How convenient! What I wouldn’t give for that now, at times!
