I recently got a piece of mail returned to me that I had apparently addressed incorrectly.
It was a Christmas card I sent to my aunt who lives up in Canada.
I took a picture of it so I could email my aunt to let her know it was returned to me. |
When I saw it, two things came to mind:
One, it struck me as really bizarre because I was sure I'd used their new address when I mailed out cards this past Christmas.
Two, and most importantly, it's now JUNE and this is a Christmas card.
I mean, I know mail delivery has been adversely impacted by the pandemic, but almost six months to return mail seems like a long time.
Before putting it in the recycling bin, I decided to open it because I wanted to look at the pictures and I knew seeing Ginny and Riley's adorable little faces would make me happy.
Imagine my surprise when I pulled THIS out:
Maddy, Ginny, & Sadie |
This is our card from CHRISTMAS 2016!
I went back to the envelope and the postmarked date is JANUARY 3, 2017 (I was late in mailing our cards that year!).
WWHHAAAAAATT?!?
No wonder the address was wrong – they've moved since then!
This card was returned THREE-AND-A-HALF YEARS after I mailed it!!!
I even went back through my FB photos and found the one from when I mailed that card:

Happy Tails to you!
