 Just for Halloween We know that if we wait long enough clothing and music will come back around. Of course I have already given the old things away by the time "long enough" arrives. But to my amazement several months ago we received a mail flyer introducing us to The Modern Milkman. I had been somewhat envious of a fellow blogger who still had milk delivered to his door. Now I might be able to do the same. A local dairy started an old business with a new twist. Promising glass bottles brought once a week it also had the insight to make other products available with delivery. Knowing the popularity of "buying local" they also bring chips, salsa, cheese, eggs, bagels, dips and cookies with their service. All these add-ons are made by small companies near by, helping to grow their businesses with local customers. While standard milk products are always on the menu, the other items vary week to week with the varieties published several days earlier. Bagels might be blueberry one week and sesame the next, but I can always choose just the ones we like. In addition each week there are special add-ons, such as a pie at Christmas or chocolates for Valentine's Day. Among the quirks lingering from my childhood is the fear of no milk in the morning. Logical: no. Still present: yes. The Modern Milkman delivers on its promises. We NEVER run out of milk! | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
