Dearest Aunty HiC

Mom and I laughed out loud when Dad handed over today’s mail. We told him the story of Uncle B’s MIA card, and he laughed too!  Mom loves your custom made cards, and this one is so cute! 

It’s Mom’s first birthday card this year, and no doubt the best, as MY picture is on it! 😹

We love you!

❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew  and The Canines

TODAY BUDDY, DAKOTA, PUP AND I, KAT,

WOULD LIKE TO WISH.....our Most Marvelous Mom aka 
Rama Happy Birthday

Dearest Nephew and K9s

MOL/BOL/LOL

Indeed Uncle laughed at me on May 7th when I mailed it.  We dropped it in a DIFFERENT box.  Uncle asked when Is Aunty's Bday.  Mom said May 17...

He laughed 10 days to Georgia are you sure that is long enough?  It took 13 days to get my card and it was mailed in Raleigh.

Thank goodness you have it.

Lovingly your Aunty HiC...who really dislikes being late with greeting cards!!

Back story to this:

My husband's birthday was April 27, 2019.  

On April 24th, I mailed his card at a drop box 2 blocks from home.

Expecting it to arrive before his birthday. 

Friday April 26 he rec'd a card from our friends 2 hours west of us.  It was mailed on

April 24th too.  WHAT the Heck is going on I said. 

On April 27 he rec'd a card from our daughter who lives 3 hours east of us.

It was mailed on April 25th.  Honestly this is the first time in all our 

50 years together he has not rec'd a card before or on his bday from ME.

I went to the drop box got the box locator #, called the USPS to find out what branch picked up the mail from that box.  Then I called them.  Because the card was not mailed with a tracking # they could DO NOTHING.

On the afternoon of May 7th my husband went to the mail box and

glory be there was his Birthday card 13 days after his birthday.

It was postmarked April 24th, the day I dropped it in the box.

Oh if that envelop could only talk, I'm sure it would have an amazing 

Road Trip story to tell!!

I MUST SAY AT THIS POINT WE ARE REALLY AND TRULY MISSING

**NOT EARL OUR MAIL MAN OF 26 YEARS, WHO RETIRED AUGUST 2018.
If you don't know the story about Not Earl...**see below

As told by Angel Madi

**Our mail man story:  Not Earl has been our mailman for nearly 26 years. Until about 10 years ago, my peeps thought our his name was Earl. When Not Earl was gone for some time, Dad finally asked the substitute mailman if Earl was sick?  He said, do you mean Tony?  Dad said, Oh, His name is "Not Earl"?

The substitute said no it is Not Earl, it is Tony.

From that day forward the peeps still call him (not to his face) "Not Earl"!

My peeps don't think he looks like a Tony.

Every time mom tells this story I ask her what a Tony looks like.

I never get an answer.
