Friends, I should have mentioned this earlier in this series of articles, but I am not a licensed counselor, relationship advisor, or anything other than a man with a plan.

The first time I went into our Navasota Post Office nearly 12 years ago, there was a pleasant, familiar feeling about it. I love our post office, but aside from Frank’s friendly banter, I wasn’t quite sure why. Then it hit me - it reminded me of trips to the Houston Heights Post Office with my mother when I was a child. So, here I go again, waxing nostalgic!
