What is it Wednesday

Many a home had a milk box, and not for planting flowers in.  Twice a week the milkman came with milk, eggs, cottage cheese.  In the summer he would have ice on hand to keep the milk from going bad.  Growing up a big treat was to get a big chuck of ice to cool off with.  Somehow that big ice cube was better then ice cream, it was so clear you could see through it.  Some homes had a milk box build in by the side door, or back door, and there was a door inside so you could get your milk with out having to step outside.  Milk in glass bottle, milk man, ice on trucks, are just memories of growing up.  This milk box belonged to my parents when we lived in Detroit.  Twin Pines Dairy would come on Tuesday and Fridays.  Do you have a favorite story of the milk man coming to your home?
