I was on line at grocery when someone asked me “You’re _Annie-Xmas_ right?” I said “yes” while thinking 'Where do I know you from?" Him: I’m your mailman. You sure got mail this week." Then he mentioned that the oddest thing he’d seen in 11 years of delivering mail was the Valentine from **frickafree**. ---

Our office building’s mailman asked how much I’ve been getting around - he’s a funny guy. ---

Over the past few days, I’ve gotten a bunch at my ‘deployed’ Florida address, and my wife, **Nawth Chucka** has gotten some here. When I got up here on Friday night, I immediately broke mine out and we had a little ‘opening party’! They were great! Thank you all so much! Tripler I like the handmade ones too–they were cute! ---

My cup runneth over… and I’m so happy to have shared this holiday with all of you! ---

Already on Friday i received Love, Joy and Peace from **Annie-Xmas**. On Monday, i got cards from **Rocking Chair** , **Avarie537** , **Pandora** (nice flowers, nice poem), **gardentravele** r (cute kitten), and **jali** (with rhinestone hearts). Yesterday’s mail brought a pixie and a mutant turtle from Texarcana (from **Pixilated** ), and today the mailman delivered hearts from **ShelliBean**. Thank you all for the good wishes. Mine appear still to be in transition. I have to confess - I didn’t get them off 'til Saturday, and according to the post office, it should take 3-7 days for them to arrive at their destination.
