This is getting scary, a few weeks ago
I posted that Modern_who, send nme a German
Post Card with a cancel date of my birthday.

Today, I receive his envelope with Italian covers,
Italy to England.

What are the chances part two, The cover was mailed
from my grandfathers birthplace, Gioiosa Marea, a small town
in Messina, Sicily !!

You can see, how my last name Gioia, was derived.

Well, Bobgggg, how about this--the space cover you sent me has the birthdate of my oldest son on it from 1975--now that is also, freaky, that out of all your covers you picked the one with his birthdate!
