Someone wants to make sure they get mail addressed to them and not 'anonymous' or 'homeowner'!

    oops, sorry. I did something with the linky that I shouldn't have... but all is good now. I hope.

    A fine tribute to Snail Mail.

    I love the mail slot in a door. We have just a regular old mailbox on the house next to our door.

    I haven't had home delivery in 38 years. After moving into my new home we ended up with a super box on the street corner.

    Boy, I haven't seen one of those mail slots in years! Nice... Ours is just a box in front of our gate and still the newspaper often gets thrown on the garage ground.

    Over here no-one get to keep the mailbox by their house any more. The mail department decides where a neighborhood mail box stand can be located, and everyone have to put up their mail boxes there. Ours is 200 meters from our house.

    This is one thing we don't have here in Cambodia. You either rent a PO box or risk losing all your mails. There's not enough manpower and budget to hire postal workers who deliver mails house-to-house :(

    I love the metal slot for the mail.

    Mail slots in doors are almost a museum piece these days! We have individual mail boxes near the front of the house by the driveway, but country areas have their boxes grouped together usually near a corner!

    Mail slots in doors are common in certain parts of the big city here, but as we are rural, we have our own box at the end of the driveway.

    I found your meme through Gemma at Greyscale Territory - this looks fun!

    What I perceive is a mail slot that might not have a slot. The Hendersons might not want junk mail to be delivered to their home, so they sealed up the slot?
    Interpreting signs is what I enjoy about your meme, Lesley.

    interesting theory, Rosi, but I stuck my hand in and it was a real mail slot!
