I wonder if the doorbell rings as they finish reading the postcard? I'd love to read more of this story. Loved it.

And Honey rejoiced . . . not. Now he's moved on to "you two will talk all night and spend money all day. Sheesh!"

I think I know that man!

Well done, Jim!

I guess Sis hasn't become too high-falutin' since she's lived in NYC awhile...she'll still come and visit her brother and sister-in-law. They better get to cleanin'!

At least she posted the card. In this house postcards are handed to me as the writers walk through the door!
