Norah's birthday card to Jackson

On the Friday about 5 days before Jackson's birthday, Norah came home from camp very excited about a birthday card she had mailed to Jackson.  She excitedly ran out to the mailbox to see if it arrived.

Friday:  Norah, the mail doesn't arrive the same day you send it.

Saturday: Norah, the mail usually takes more than one day

Sunday: Norah, there's no mail delivery on Sunday

Monday: Norah, it's not here yet, let's check tomorrow

Tuesday: Norah, it's not here yet, let's check tomorrow

Wednesday (Jackson's birthday): Norah, distracted by birthday donuts doesn't notice there was no mail delivery today...

Thursday: Norah's moved on, but still no mail delivery

Friday: still no mail delivery

Saturday: still no mail delivery

Sunday: All our backlogged mail arrives, including the birthday card!

The Long-Awaited Card Arrived!

The card was super sweet.  Here's what her camp counselor transcribed for the text of the card:

Dear Jackson,

I love that you play with me.  And I like it when you sit in the car next to me.  Happy birthday to you, Jackson.  I love that you play Pokemon with me at home.

                                                                                        Love,

                                                                                         Norah
