The good old days
Every Saturday morning for a year, I used to go in at 2AM and help load up the horse cart and then help deliver the bread. I know who was the boss. If you did not keep up with horse, it was not going wait for you. It would stop at the house and as soon as you got to the front gate, it was off.
