This postcard is sent to me twice by Awyn, Canada

Awyn writes on a separate piece: "14 March 2024 Well, this is a crazy thing, Kozy! I mailed this card to you in February, but it somehow got stuck to a card being mailed to Carl Baker in Ontario in Canada. As we three are all IUOMA members, he kindly sent it back to me so that I could mail it back to you in a new envelope. I hope it gets to you okay this time!" 

So many thanks Awyn. A long time I feel I owe you and now Carl some mailart soon!
