The L.W.A. has received its first postcard from beneathe the sea! Sent in by member April of New Zealand while she was on vacation, the card is waterproof and specially branded from the world's only underwater post office in Vanuatu. It does say on the website that the card should be cancelled with an embossed mark {as seen here}, but sadly, it seems the Post Master was on a break when our card went through. Still, it is awesome and being the first to send it to us earned April an Inkling! Thanks April!

I just got a letter from a special Colorado Springs lady a few days ago. Now I hear the wild fires have spread! Have you been in touch? (Sorry for the unrelated comment. I can be a worrywart.)
