South Africa is actually a place

So a friend of ours was researching shipping options for Billy's new computer battery we had to order... apparently UPS didn't realize South Africa is really a place .....

so trying to ship out the package has been an adventure! I was calling around trying to get rates and see who would be the least expensive- one conversation i had went a little something like this

me: i need to send a package to south africa
UPS: ok... what country?
me: south Africa
UPS: well you said that, but what country?
me: well the one at the very south of africa that is called south africa
UPS: if you can't tell me where it is going i will not be able to help you
I hung up


South Africa is really a place. I was just thinking the other day that maybe I didn't tell you before we left... but we do have an address and any time you feel like drawing us a picture or writing us a love note or pressing daffodil petals between your journal pages and sending them to us, we'd love the mail! I know for a fact that a letter through the US post office costs .90cents - care packages cost a bit more, but we all have wishes if anyone wants to organize a box. More than that though, is just your love. And thanks for sharing that so freely.
