On March 1st I got mail!
Real snail mail - I had to laugh so hard!
Because... what was the first thing I saw when I opened it?
Yes. Another Popo (butt)!!!
Mine, kinda, too!
As you maybe know I´m rather clumsy and Ella - who sent me this on.the.dot! - calls me Hathi, you know, the baby elephant from The Jungle Book. Elephants and china-cups, or glass for that matter and I... not a good idea!
Awwww... cute card!
Ingo understood it all, I had to use google translate - what did we do before internet?!
It would´ve forced me to ask Ella ... no - I wouldn´t even know her!!! How sad! But even if... no, pre-internet that would be an awful long wait via snail mail!
I would´ve had to call my fav book-store or library - with Corinna and lockdown you cannot march in, you have to order first, so I would´ve had to order a paper-dictionary. Remember the olden times?
Thank you internet and google!
But there was more!!!
Ella sent herself along!
Is that a summer-tattoo?
And that was still not all!
Look at these beauties! Must not loose them on the billiard-table 😉
I had a "blue-phase" when I started my first real job!!
The carpet in the place I was into flat-sharing was blue, and my dear colleague S... the hanging closet he didn´t need no more.. blue.
First company car, boss asked which color - I said, I don´t care, cheap, you chose? Blue 😂
Sweet, sweet memories.
The last shoes I got for our Australian first journey after so many years: blue!
Unexpected, sweet memories!
You think that was it, you´re wrong, along with a lovely letter came a lucky charm!!!
Maybe a job is on the way?
And a very beautiful card:
And can you imagine how I got wide eyes when I turned the calendar page?! Lilly?!!
(That was the name I wished they´d chose for one of my Nieces, no such luck).
This is not Lilly!
I had to get a pen just yet again!
And the title, well, I dunno what it is with Popos these days.
First I find the Popo-Guy on our balcony (and Hathi!), then the Klitschko-Brothers, followed by my lucky pig arriving at Stevenson and where did the mailman put his stamp on?
Right... The Popo!
I walk the street and what´s there?
Someone wrote...
"POPO" on the wall.
Henry 🦁 laughs and shows me his... Popo!
Isn´t this plain hilarious?!
Well, one last thing:
My Brother is wrong. If online-friends are not friends, then why would Ella care to send me all those wonderful, funny goodies?
Thank you loads, Ella 🦋, you made my day🧡!

I had to laugh so hard ... a popo! Hahahahaha ... 🤣
I also thought ... the card is in dutch ... how will you understand it ?! But my husband say ... no problem, she also has google translate! Men! 🤣
Maybe my gift and my lucky charm will help you find a new job!
Maybe I am the fairy godmother! 🧚
After the end of the year I would like from you the calendar pages with the Hathi 🐘 and with the vliender 🦋! OK?
Oh, Henry 🦁 ... you have such a beautiful popo! 🤣
It's raining and it's only 5 degrees! ☂️🌧️ But I keep smiling ... 😊
Ich hab dich liiiieb mein 🐘 xoxo
Yips, I often use google translate - with some languages it´s a pain in the.... Popo, though! 🦶 (one would like to kick it)
Yes, I really hope a job comes along, and not in Frankfurt or such!
Would you like the whole page or just the header? We´ve written nothing in it anyways... I send the two 🐘🦋 on the way 😀
I kinda hope the Popo-series finds an end, LOL.
No rain here, cloudy, 3C.
Ich hab dich liiiieb mein 🦋 xoxo
Love the elephant card, so cute, the blue earrings, lovely.
Lucky girl and I hope it's all a good omen for a job :)
You gave us lots and lots of popos today. And I barely remember before the internet. It was a long time ago and I'm so glad we have it, or I would never have "met" you or learned what popo was!
Sami, yes, that hopefully was not just a lucky day but brings a happy job along!

Elizabeth, yes, being without internet... one can hardly imagine! And what would a world without friendships from all around the planet or Popos be?
It's hard to imagine what it was like for people years ago who wrote letters and would have to wait months for a reply :-)
Fun snail mail!
Yes, and especially now it really is months! I send one to the Philippines and it took over a month thanks to Corinna.
You had some GREAT mail Iris. What a nice surprise. Those earrings are beauties.
What a nice bunch of friends you have, sending such amusing cards! It's hard to see how they obtain them when it's so impossible to casually go shopping.
be safe... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Elephants are so cute despite their size!
Quite a surprise!
Erika, yes, quite a surprise!!

Mae, cards are there plenty here. But I tried to buy a purse. 4 left, ugly and expensive.
____
magiceye, true.
____
William, it was!
What a fun treat! And a happy one, too! I have learned new words here so yet another plus on the internet (and if I didn't have translate, I'd be up a tree!)
...we only seem to get junk mail!
Jeanie, LOL, glad to help!
____
Tom, that or taxes...
Laurie, you´re very welcome :-)
Looooove this post so so much! Made me super super happy and a very light feeling! Love the things that Ella sent you they are all so adorable and precious! And thank you also for featuring the stamped pop card you sent me, hahahaha The writing on the pavement is soooo funny!!! In Filipino/Tagalog, we call it "pwet" HAHA
How wonderful to get something nice in the mail!
I'm with you, what would we do without the internet nowadays? You received such kind and thoughtful gifts from Ella. Have a great day.
Ella is a sweet friend, one to treasure forever. She is a keeper for sure.
What a wonderful way to start a new month. It's nice knowing bloggers, they are a nice cool bunch. Happy evening to you!
Dearest Stevenson, glad we could make you happy, Ella and I :-)
And I learned a new word, pwet, LOL!!!! Isn´t it weird with that?! Peanut showed me his pwet today, munching the nuts,, it never ends!

RedPat, YES!
____
Liberty Bell, I don´t wanna imagine a world without internet., I´d missed also out on Ella! You and all the other lovely friends!
____
gigi, she is! And I will!
____
Bill, I agree, a nice evening to you, too!
I like the stamps. The houses are very cute. They remind me of Lego houses!
They´re quite common in the North, also in Germany, like Emden.
I love the elephant card and I also hope the good luck charm works for you.
Thank you River, sadly lockdown is extended again...
How lovely to get proper mail with super surprises enclosed Iris, that would have made your day 💜
I am cracking up laughing. Great funny post.
Grace, yes. Yours still sits here 😥

Nicole, yes, I laughed, too!
