Seward is a little town, and our newspaper only comes on Wednesdays. I usually treat it like most news, and ignore it. This week’s paper was briefly scanned by Lloyd and put right into the recycling bin. I never even saw it.
Coming back from Omaha this Saturday Lloyd got a text from Beth: “Did you know your house is on the cover of the Independent?” Lloyd read it to me and I was so excited – had we won a contest for Coolest House In Seward?? Then I got nervous – had we won a contest for Stupidest House in Seward? Perhaps they were doing an article on ‘Seward Bloggers – they’re right under our noses!’
No, it was a couple pulling their little girl on a sled, right over our un-scooped sidewalk. I’m glad they didn’t fall or the headline would have been ‘Local Couple Sued for Property Neglect’.
