St. Larry's Dairy

I recently sent something to a close, but not perfect address in a California city. It was supposed to be an "8" on the address, not a "3". Had that kind of mistake been made here, the delivery person would have just put it where it should be. There are advantages to small towns.


When we started our diary farm,  didn't get to the Post Office to announce myself until Tuesday, having moved on the weekend. But I had a letter on Monday. My sister-in-lawe had s=asked me what the farm name would be. I hadn’t considered that yet, but since I was in St. Lawrence County, joked “St Larry’s Dairy”. She addressed it with our names , then “St Larry’s Dairy, Heuvelton NY. I asked the postmaster how he knew to deliver it  correctly. He said he'd heard that someone new have moved in to the Bayne farm, so he figured that must new who she meant in the address. I said, “But suppose it wasn't us?” He replied, “If it  was wrong, we'd take the letter back until we found the right person.” No problem.
