How do you say Good Mail in French?What a wonderful surprise today to find a brand new Miles Bornes game in my mailbox. One of my Glastonbury neighbors from Nashville read on my blog that my daughters had destroyed my vintage Miles Bornes game a few months ago. She is from Belgium so when she was there for the Holidays she bought my family a new one and sent it to us. It is the original graphics and is even better because it comes in a red box which you can not get in the states. ok now I am really missing my neighbors. What a wonderful gift to be thinking of us.
this is such a wonderful card game and now it will go on a high shelf in a safe place.
Yannick - Thank you so much! (and I found Vanilla Sugar at the commissary the other day and bought it to make the waffles.. A recipe I must post)

OK, I'll take a stab at it -- how about "la bonne poste"?
Excellent mail -- so thoughtful and from another country, no less!
What a thoughtful piece of good mail. I love that game and will have to "borrow" my mom's next time I'm over there, I haven't played it in a long, long time.
I'm so glad you have such wonderful friends looking out for you! I know I said this before, but Milles Bornes is one of my favorite games. I'm glad someone shares my love. That set looks lovely. Have so much fun playing with it and keep it safe!
How sweet! I remember your sadness when your game got smashed. What wonderful friends and how cool to have a game from Belgium!
Love the graphics on the box. So wonderful to get a replacement after such frustration before. What a wonderful friend.
The thoughtful gifts you receive go to show what a thoughtful person you are. How nice.
"Bon Courrier"!

I have never heard of that game or of vanilla sugar - I'm glad you got both!
