The little trooper's trek

As the adage goes, “The best things comes in small packages.” Last week, I opened my mailbox and squealed with joy to find this waiting for me…

I mean, come on! How adorable is this? The size of a business card (note the quarter for scale purposes), this insanely cute, itty-bitty letter was sent to me by a cousin in Tiburon, California!

Can you believe this little trooper trekked all the way from California to Connecticut?

I asked my cousin how in the world she mailed this little letter and said replied:

"I used a big binder clip to clip it to the outside of my mailbox. Then added a post-it note with an arrow. I should’ve taken a picture."

I wish she did!

I stopped by my local USPS this week to ask how this mini-mail snuck by so many on its cross-country trek and he replied, “Clearly, someone was being very nice to you allowing this to make it through. Consider it a Christmas present.”

OH, I DO!!!! Thank you, Marj. Your little letter filled my heart big-time! Now I'm going to have to get very clever in order to get its tiny twin to make trip back to you!
