Thank you to everyone who sent kind thoughts on the 10th Blogiversary yesterday. Chuck sent this link to a wonderful virtual museum.
The 17th-century trunk of letters once belonged to postmasters Simon de Brienne and Marie Germain. Who were they? And what did postmasters do?
The photo above explains what I mentioned yesterday about how - prior to stamps - people had to pay to get their mail. I'm always happy to find that something I remembered is probably correct. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. I was crazy excited about all the other things I learned about. Wow. Just wow.
OK, enough of my mail-nerd rambling....check it out.
Today's regular post is right below.
