Last year, my friend aptly coined her summer, the Summer of Fun. She basically needed to work less, enjoy friends more, and beg off and go to the beach once in a while. Well, this summer for me is the same. I'm saying yes to every invitation in an attempt to experience more, see my friends and basically just have more fun. During a Target excursion this weekend we saw these huge balls, and thought, wouldn't it be a blast to just mail them as is? No packaging? Just open your door and there it is? "Fun with Mail" was definitely falling under my new Summer of Fun priority. And, who better to receive these than my nieces and nephew, aged 1, 3 and 6. I had heard that you can put an address on anything and just drop it in the mail. But after scanning the USPS website yesterday, couldn't find anything to back up the rumor. So, this morning, we addressed the balls and made a trip to the post office. I was a little nervous that we would get the eyeroll/sigh tretment, but was pleasantly surprised by my local Postman! He very kindly took the balls, with out any of the aforementioned eye rolling or sighing, and said, "Well, this will be fun to get in the mail, won't it?" and even allowed me to snap a photo. Don't I have the most AWESOME post office? Let's see if they make it! Anyone have any other fun things they've sent or received in the mail?

I can’t believe I missed this post until now. Awesome idea with the ball!
And, glad you are having fun for me this year :)
