Oh! Snail Mail!

Ya'll know how much I enjoy stories like this one. Yet another snail has finally delivered a postcard to someone almost 60 years after it was postmarked.

The postcard is in surprisingly good shape for having such a remarkable journey. And just like the other stories I have posted like this, this one has a good ending. The lady who received it in her mailbox posted the info and picture on Facebook. With the help of some friends they tracked down the original recipient! Just one of the many ways new technology and snail mail can be helpful to one another.

Doesn't this make you wonder if one day you will be reunited with a piece of mail from your past?

  1. I think people forget that every piece of mail contains a little history and a little mystery!

  2. If it was to me, that'd be awesome. If it was from me, I'd worry about what I might've said so many years ago! I'm sure I've written some cringe-worthy letters in my youth!

  4. I absolutely love these kind of things too! Did you read my blog about love letter? I think that is amazing they found the person who the postcard belonged to. ;)

  5. That is an amazing story! I often think about mail that goes missing: just where exactly does it go?! My husband and I surmise that if we excavated the sites of mail offices, we might find a big pit of missing letters and postcards--like buried mail treasure! :)
