Hi, I'm Handan! Remember me? I'm the other half of this blog: the better half! [You're delusional, woman! You're only one third of our combined weight! -Greg] :-D Joking aside, I can't thank my babes enough, because if it weren't for him taking the lead for the past two months on our blog, I wouldn't have been…
Mailbox Makeover
For three and a half years, Handan and I were the shameful owners of The Saddest Mailbox on the Lane. Each day, I would watch our neighbors waltz out to retrieve fan mail, love letters, large checks, gift packages and sweepstakes award notifications from their resplendent black mailboxes sitting atop flawless white perches, their posts tucked into…
