Praise for the USPS

I placed some Christmas cards in a mail box at a post office yesterday afternoon.

It was Sunday, so it’s not as if I expected the cards to be sorted and placed in the delivery pipeline right away.

But lo and behold, at least one of the cards sent to a Spokane address was delivered today. I admit that I am impressed. When you think about the tons of mail they have to move this week, that’s pretty remarkable.

How do I know about that card being delivered? Well, I’ll tell you.

The card correctly addressed to our neighbors across the street got delivered to our house by mistake this afternoon.

So we walked the card over to our neighbors’ house and had a nice little visit with the mother of two adorable children. So, in the end, the delivery mistake served as an excuse for a nice, friendly moment.

Thanks, USPS!
