We had a little family gathering at my mom and dads house yesterday evening. It was an evening of hambergers, hot dogs, soda,, chips and lots of conversation. I was telling my uncle the retired postman that I sent postcards around the world to my friends. He thought it was cool but then let me know that I should have taken the postcards to the postoffice instead of just dropping them in the mailbox for pick up. Apparently, the postage is different when you mail postcards to foreign countries. Well duh!!, I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me. I am nearly 42 years old. So what I decided to do is resend a second postcard from Tennessee to everyone that lives outside the United States. I will take these postcards to the postoffice and have the proper postage put on them. There is a chance that the original postcards will make it to their destination anyway but I don’t want to take the chance that people won’t get their postcards.
I am off to address cards

I am 45 years old and would not have thought of this either!
Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Having had penpals from around the world for years and years, I’ve learned it’s a different postage cost for letters to Canada, to US and to International destinations…what a shame you had to go through the expense of resending some of the postcards but it’s sure sweet of you:-) Haven’t received mine yet but will let you know as soon as I do!!
It’s me again…just wanted to let you know I received your postcard today:-) Thank you soooo much for it!! Love it!
oh no- you poor lady- l feel bad now.
