The house across the road from us was empty when we moved here...taken back from the bank. It was eventually purchased as a rental property. Since then, several families have lived there. At one point, a family with 10 unruly children lived there. They were nice enough folks, but we felt they didn't do a stellar job of watching their kids. We'd see the 2 year old dancing on top of their RV, or various kids riding toys in the street and darting out from behind the RV almost into the path of the gravel trucks that were working on the site of the church that was being built nearby at the time. Fortunately none of them were ever hit. At one point, the oldest one managed to put a good sized rock through the back window of our truck. Sadly, that canopy type was no longer being made, so in an effort to save the neighbors some money, we ended up with rather a makeshift window replacement on the truck. Then they moved out and another family moved in.
We had just finished dinner today and settled down for the afternoon when we heard a couple of loud thumps. Upon looking out the door, this is what we saw!
That little car belongs in the garage across the street.....and that pile of rubble is our mailbox. The car was parked in their steep driveway and while unattended, decided to take a drive down the driveway and into our mailbox!
I guess fixing the mailbox just got added to our to-do list.
