I emailed Kate and said something about how much time she had spent on coloring in the ghosts. She responded that she had not intended to do it that way. Her initial attempt to imprint a white ghost was not what she wanted so she colored them in. She said the time went quickly because she had listened to something.
[I deleted some idle chit chat that was here - because a new add-on presented itself.
No return address - by the cancel, I can deduce it's either from Nicky or Lucy.
These two get the SRSA designation.
Scanner Readable Seal of Approval.
Here is a real time add-on.
Mike Moore sends mail with the most delicate Spencerian that is a delight to see in person. One of his envelopes was gold ink on red and it took many weeks to arrive. We can assume the scanners could not read it. I think Mike has seen my requests for clear block printing on mail, if you want it to move smoothly and swiftly through the USPS.
Voila.
He mailed this on Dec 11 from Atlanta GA and it arrived at the 420 on Dec 15. Four days. That is UH-MAZE-ING. Additional shout out to Mike for using a pen for the addressing that is bolder than a *hair's width* - which is what the typical Spencerian penmanship looks like.
I'm guessing this was a challenge for Mike - to embolden and block print the address. But, he did it - and I appreciate how it might have been an aesthetically challenging event. I wonder - has he done all his holiday mail like this - or did he just do mine like this because of my ranting?
