XPlus mailed

My four blocks mailed to Kristin at the post office today.    Should take 10-14 days from here to arrive.  Depending on who is on duty at our local post office depends on whether it goes at medium letter or small parcel rates, this time was the more expensive parcel rate, c’est la vie.  Congratulations!  Karen N in Cape Town, South Africa.
