We Got Mail!

Today I have a little story to tell you. It's about Christmas, 2007. Yes, 2007.

We purchased a baseball card on ebay for Buddy as a gift in early December, 2007. It was an autographed card of one of his favorite baseball players and would definitely be an unexpected gift.

It was also going to be one of his bigger gifts. We insured it when we paid for it through PayPal.

It was coming from the state of Washington clear across the country to Virginia.

It didn't come.

We contacted the seller. He waited the appropriate amount of time and filed the claim with the post office so he could get his money back and give us our money back.

In the meantime, we purchased another card from a different seller, which did make it safely to us.

Today (depending on when I post this, it was Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day) we received a bubble-wrap envelope postmarked December 10, 2007, from Spokane, Washington, to our original Virginia address, which in turn forwarded to us here.

I have no idea what we do now.
