I got the strangest piece of mail yesterday. I got a card in the mail, which was unusual because I usually only get them for birthdays and Christmas. Then I saw the postmark - December 19, 2007 - with a Happy Holidays banner. There was also a stamp across the envelope from France. Yes, I got a Christmas card 8 months later. The envelope was open, but the pretty card from my friend Karin J was still in there. I don't know why it would take 8 months to get from Carver to Big Lake. I could probably walk faster than that! But, at least something got to go to France this year. I had wanted to, but it just didn't work out. The Post Office may be slow, but at least it will finally get there!

That is INSANE! Hopefully you weren't mad at Karin for not sending you a holiday card - because she DID!
How funny is that?! Now that's what I call snail mail...

And you thought I blew you off this Christmas...HeHe. Well, If I get your card in the mail today, you should see it in April 2009 according to this most recent transit time. :) I'd better get busy!
