7. The letter carrier puts a bag in my mailbox every year and I always put some non-perishable cans and boxes in it

and leave it on my porch. It was always on a Saturday. For three or four years, the carrier never took the food and I would take it to the post office on Monday. I finally started putting the bag of food in my mailbox so they had to take it out to put my mail in! Never had a problem after that.

I usually get the bag by now, but haven't gotten it yet this year. I wonder why? Maybe it'll come tomorrow. If not, I'll put my own bag out. I like to shop for extra cans because I don't buy canned fruit or vegetables and I like to include them with my unused canned food.
