Prior to moving into their current house, my parents lived in a wonderful old house in
Wyncote, PA, for over 30 years. As great as the house was, though, it certainly had its challenges. Among them were the driveway and the location. It was situated on a hill and had a driveway that made learning to drive a stick shift quite challenging. Next to the house was another street's bridge, which created lots of noise and interesting traffic accidents. Their newspaper delivery person would drive on that bridge every morning and chuck the day's news out the window towards the house. Sometimes it would actually land in the driveway. Other times, though, it would get lost, and there'd be a morning game of Find the Paper. Occasionally, we'd have to look UP to find it, as it would get stuck in the tree that overhung the driveway. Leave it to my father, though, to come up with a great tool to get the paper down!
