Fathers day has come and gone or so they say.
But late last week I received a card from my youngest granddaughter finally. I guess 3 cards left that household at the same time, but one became lost on its way here. Could it be becuase it had tigers on the front and the tigers became tired. I can only wonder about it.
But of course the interesting part was that the original postmark was on Jun 14th. The next postmark was on Jun 18th and it was from a postoffice located in Grafton Iowa. I guess the postmaster there didn't know who Grandpa Gordon was? They must have asked around while they had coffee until they found out. I mean how busy could the postmaster be in Grafton?
Anyway, it sat there for over a week and then it made it's happy way over to my house.
Of course it came postage DUE! Maybe that explains why it was late. I guess the postmaster in Grafton had to wait till a collection was taken up to send the card further down the line.
So yes the card finally made it and true to form, I wonder about the government and how it works. I mean the address was correct, but somehow it made it to Grafton.
