It is different, living in the country. Today, the UPS was to deliver a package to us at the ranch. This is not an easy thing to do. Firstly, the driver must find us on this obscure county road, and secondly, as we live in the house on top of the hill, we must stay down below in the ranch house awaiting his arrival. Ken knew all the pitfalls, but wanted to check out the system.
By nine o'clock we are down at the ranch house. The computer tracking is invaluable as we knew the package was to be delivered today and we wanted to be busy. I am happy to report, the system worked beautifully. I took my last two magazines down with me, also asked Suzanne for a couple of chores while waiting, so I was productive the whole time.
After lunch, which we stole from the freezer and ate by the fire-pit, the driver drove up. He commented that it was the first time he had delivered to our place, which was true. Now that we know to trust the system, we might have more packages delivered to the ranch. The driver commented that he knows every residence on his route and that he will deliver before two o'clock. It is different in the country. He also called me by name!!
