In the Barber’s Pole

When I was a kid, my dad and brother regularly had their hair cut by the same barber.

When I was a kid, my mom would pull up in front of the post office, and my brother or I would run inside to get the mail. That was when the post office boxes were still locked with a combination (now they use a key). Our combination was B-F-J/A.

That post office seemed huge to me growing up.

The post office doesn’t seem so big now, but the barber’s pole still makes me think of my dad’s haircuts when I was a little girl.

Me, the barber’s pole, and my small town post office…

  • Great pic. Great eye for composition. Can’t believe you remember your po combo. What was your locker combo in high school?

  • I cannot believe that you remember that combination! Goodness!!! This is a wonderful photo. I like your new watermark as well! You need to teach me that trick sometime when you are here! Great photo – can’t wait to see this one in a frame!
