Jeanette,
We are so pleased your card actually arrived from Lin. She was concerned about 
it's arrival and know she is very happy today knowing it arrived safely. 
Thank you for not opting out. Know this is a very nice ending to your postal 
strike.  We hope you will join in again. 
Sallie and Janet

 months in South Africa last year.  I have always taken part in the Christmas
 card exchange and last year contemplated withdrawing from the exchange due
 to the strike.  I was paired with Lin Hudren who patiently waited until the
 strike was over and posted her card on 10 Dec from Nevada in the USA but
 there was no sign of the card arriving here.  I had all but given up hope
 when the card suddenly arrived today - a double surprise - first the
 surprise of the card finally arriving and then the surprise of seeing the
 beautiful card  in the flesh!!  My card to her??  Fortunately a friend's
 son came visiting from the USA and took my card with and posted it in the
 USA!  A happy ending eventually!
