Yesterday Was Not a Good Mail Day

I opened our mailbox yesterday to find a huge stack of mail.

Right on top was an official-looking letter from the area high school marked “Personal Correspondence — Parental Response Required.”

Next were three large, fat envelopes from different colleges… two on the East Coast and one in California… and a smaller envelope from one of the East Coast colleges’ alumni organizations.

Almost hidden under those envelopes was a square, hand-addressed envelope with a Hallmark imprint on the back, and two other small envelopes that looked to be personal letters… one with a return address of Denmark.

There was a thick garden catalog and a glossy catalog for expensive kitchen equipment, and on the very bottom of the mailbox was a big padded envelope that obviously contained a book.

We haven’t received this much mail all at once for ages! The only problem was that none of this mail was addressed to us.

Great story. Been there — when our mail delivery man was new at the job he kept mixing up the neighbor’s mail with our’s — but he straightened out eventually. Really enjoy the blog.

And then the next thing you wonder is…hmm…which one of these folks has my mail?

What a funny post, glad you could maintain a sense of humor about all that mail for someone else. I once got a Netflix movie that wasn’t mine, only I didn’t realize that until I opened it. “Why did they send me this movie? It wasn’t in my queue.” Only then did I think to check the address. A less funny side is when my Netflix movies are delivered to someone else.
