I’ve got mail.
The mail carrier brought it today.
Not just catalogs, flyers with pizza coupons and bulk rate circulars. Real mail, not just junk, addressed to me.
What a happy surprise.
Charlie (3) and his mom mailed his preschool photo AND the self-portrait he drew inside the card. ❤️ Thanks Charlie. (and Laura)
