September 8, 2017. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Boxes.

Boxes arrive at our door almost every day.  Sometimes they are delivered by the official postal truck and sometimes by a courier such as Fed Ex or Purelator.  I never know what is in the boxes and I never open them.   I leave them in the front hall for Ken.  Every day is like Christmas in our home.  I never know what is coming next so it is always fun.

On the desk in the office are two lamps designed to attach to your head.  Ken ordered them for folks  walking back to the guest house when they have forgotten to bring their flashlight.  The lights are similar to miners lights.  You put the lamp on your head so you can use your hands but still have good light.  The two that Ken purchased are bright so would. clearly get a person home without tripping.  The real question we both wonder is whether or not anyone will ever put the lamp on their head?   You look odd when wearing them.  But you certainly would be able to see in the dark.

Sometimes the boxes contain items that we need such as tea and coffee.  Sometimes the boxes contain items that Ken thinks we need.  And sometimes  the boxes contain items that we do not need at all.  Ken subscribes to the concept of "It is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it".   I never know what will arrive next.  Most things are useful even though I was not aware we needed the item.  Ken is always trying to be helpful.  Now I wonder if we will ever get anyone to wear those excellent lamps?
