Just curious, do you go to the post office every business day?

I am sending you a PM.

The mailperson comes to my mailbox every business day.

Maybe the next one will be the jumbo size. This standard one is wearing out. The door has come unhinged 3 times. The last time was during a wind storm. I had to search the neighborhood for it. Mine was the second door I found.

@Tormato, do you have the same person delivering the mail that you had last year or is this a newbie who was unaware of the onslaught awaiting them?

There may be one or more packages still to arrive. Those will likely be used towards next year's swap.

My plan is to start departures on Thursday, with the first visit to the post office. I have no idea how that will go.
Packages to the deep south will be first, newbies up next, likely starting on Monday. Past participants further to the north already know they go to the back of the line.

I won't be ordering anything from Knapps until after the new year. I'll post about this, later.

looking like it has taken the scenic route, no surprise.

The scenic route just took a detour.

The post office was a nightmare on the 23rd. Newbies trying to get 1 or 2 day deliveries. Also, boxing up/taping/labeling packages while in line, their first time ever mailing anything. The line was too long and not moving, people not social distancing, all wore masks, a few below the nose. I'l try again on Monday or Tuesday.

As a consolation I did pick up shipping boxes, just the wrong ones. I wanted Flat Rate boxes and mistakenly took the Priority Mail boxes.

Just read your email, and finding out your package is taking the scenic route.

departures...(off to a good start, as I didn't record the names)

Next shipment should be on Monday. With back spasms and a pinched nerve in the neck acting up (both at the same time, for a first), it's staying at home and packing seeds. I may, or may not, be offline until next week.
