Our home looked so wonderful as we arrived for the first time after it had been built!  And I was delighted that all the outside finishing touches had been added by that time as well.   Until I realized we had not chosen a mailbox for the house!  Then my husband reminded me that the mail was delivered to the bank of wall mount mailboxes at the bottom of the road.  I had never noticed, probably because I was always captivated by the scenery of forest of firs and other perennial trees.  The mailboxes were large and sturdy and it was such a relief not to have to worry about finding one.
