That's me, a small town girl. I went to my favorite post office the other day- a teeny tiny place in historic Clifton, Virginia. Tom, the afternoon postman, greeted me and Sophie as usual. Then, he said, "Hey, remember when you were in here the other day and we got to talking about those new padded mailers?" Yep. "Well, I let you leave without paying!" Oh my gosh!

Then, the amazing part? When I asked about the packages, he assured me they were off and fine. How could that be? Well, he wrote a personal check for my postage. He said he knew I'd be in sooner or later to pay him back. This is the same post office where Karen, the morning postwoman, sent Sophie's hairbow to my house when she left it on the counter.

30 miles outside of the nation's capitol, where life is a big bundle of bustle, the Clifton post office is an oasis for me. My daily dose of small town living- my Cheers equivalent! Do you have places like this where you live? Which are you... a city mouse or a country mouse?
