    I'm so behind and now FIVE June birthdays... I simply have lost three cards. I'm not happy about it. I had exactly enough for the year. Maybe the lost ones will show up by Christmas. I'll get new cards made and mailed and I'll get June done ON TIME......

    On a good note, if you haven't seen me brag. My daughter took 7th in her tournament last week. She's thrilled and we're thrilled! Her team took 4th as well, and that was wonderful too. All in all a great trip, especially since I did not get sunburned in four days of watching golf!! WIN

    Have you talked to your Postmaster about this. Loosing three cards seems a little extreme. Are you sure you are using the correct postage? That could definitely put them into some weird hold somewhere, and who only knows where. Remember if the envelope is over 1/4" thick it requires additional postage not matter what the size or weight. The post office has this wonderful cardboard with slots in it and if it doesn't fit it costs you more to mail. How are you mailing; at the post office or from work, or from your home?

    The only time I had cards get lost last year was when I mailed them from the airport as I was heading out of town on a trip. I usually mail from my office and with the exception of not hearing from MaT yet every one of them have made it in a reasonable time frame.

    Just trying to offer some friendly suggestions.

    Happy birthday, moonrise!

    My cards for June are ready to go and will be sent out tomorrow. I'll be away from home for the next couple of weeks and I want to make sure that everybody gets theirs on time. Next week I'll be in Holland, MI, for a few days. I've never been there and I would love some recommendations if anyone has any. Fabric shops, restaurants, etc. It looks like a very charming place.

    Kele, Patrick's Mom and Dottie Dodge... I am mailing your cards and candies tomorrow, 5/21. Some of my cards have taken two weeks to be delivered, so better early than sorry.

    Just got a b-day card back.....stamped - "better address with the zip code circled". I know that my zip has another four digits behind the 68649 but I've never used that part of the zip. I wonder if this is why some of our cards are taking so long to arrive at their destination. Just a thought. For those of you that have not sent June birthday cards, my zip should read 68649-0191. Barb, maybe we should update our zip codes, the post office my be cracking down on proper zip code usage. I already resent May birthdays so we shall see how many more are returned.along with and big sigh and some not so very nice words! I'm going to hold off mailing my June card for a couple of days to see what others think about this zip code deal.
