Return to Sender

So some of you may remember this post. We made those cookies specifically for Mark's cousin Briant who was doing summer sales in California at the time. We sent a bunch of the cookies with some other goodies. here is the stamp of when we sent them.


Sadly, Briant never did receive the package. We assumed it was lost in the mail. Until yesterday that is, when we got a package slip in our mailbox. Mark and I were both really excited because we weren't expecting anything. So, Mark picked up the package and, you guessed it. We FINALLY got it back in the mail. Yep, 11 months later, we got it.


So we invited Briant over to let him open his package, almost a year later.

Here he is looking at his stash. We sent him the cookies, Lego fruit snacks, Parmesan goldfish, parachute army men, and a nice copy of a now very outdated Ensign.


To say the least, the cookies were now a bit scary. They weren't really moldy per say, but there was some definite fuzz in the containers.


Here is Briant being very brave in getting this cookie this close to his mouth.


All in all, it was pretty hilarious. Have any of you ever gotten a package back after this long??
