Tuesday evening is when we put our recycling out. Ever since we moved here 2+ years ago, we have always seen the same man riding his cruiser bike with baskets around the neighborhood collecting cans and bottles for recycling. We've always been kind of lazy about returning them to the store, but were more than happy to put them at the curb for whoever wants them. Well, Thomas wants them---- and now we set them aside especially for him. We noticed that he lives only 2 blocks down, and has lived in this neighborhood for years. He cruises around and collects cans for a little extra income in his retirement. Of course, the boys think he's pretty cool, and I think that he always enjoys his stop at our house every Tuesday evening around 5:40.....not just just for the cans and bottles, but for the two cute boys that always run out to help him! He always rides away from here with a chuckle,a smile on his face, and a few extra dollars in his pocket.
We always love it, too. There goes Thomas with his bag full, and Nate is heading back inside to finish his dinner. See you next Tuesday, Thomas!
