Postal Apologies

Oops. My sincere apologies to anyone who got a holiday card from DH and I and had to pay postage due to get our card out of hock... I wasn't paying any attention to the weight of the envelopes and two days after we mailed them, a stack of 6 showed up in our mailbox. Two needed 28 cents more postage; four needed 78 cents (!!!) more. We thought that was the end of it... until Thursday.

Thursday night we had dinner with KM and MM to celebrate DH's birthday, and also did a Christmas gift swap. KM gave me a lovely velvet pouch - that had a single quarter in it. Apparently, he got a slip from his mail person for 25 cents postage due, and after much banter back and forth from his mail delivery person, eventually gave him the money and got our Christmas card. KM was contributing 25 cents to our postal fund because we apparently didn't have enough money to pay all the postage! Hee hee!

Big apology for anyone else who got stuck having to pay ransom to get our Christmas card this year. Sorry! (On the plus side, the cards were really, really pretty. Weren't they?)
