Guess what came in the mail?

I got an invitation to a birthday party in the mail this week. Here's the date:

I was a little confused, so I checked the postmark:

September 12, 1994. 43¢ stamp! Not every day that a letter arrives that was mailed before your teenage daughter was born. A little late to RSVP I think.

Charlene figured out what happened. The sender had the wrong address, and it was delivered a few doors down from us. Looks like this letter sat in his house for years. Last Fall, the senior man living there died. His family has been there lately cleaning up the place. They likely found this letter and dropped it in the mail. The post office figured out the right address, and we got it 13 years late.

Weird.

wow--there is no way I am inviting you to anything. You probably be a no-show

wow indeed. You've actually lived in the same house for fourteen years!?
