In the post yesterday I received a letter from the White House signed by the President and his wife (or probably from an aid) wishing Susie and I congratulations on our marriage.

I've heard of letters that arrive wishing people welcome to America, but have never heard of this letter arriving before.

Anyone ever heard of, or received one of these notes before?

ask your wife if she sent the president an invitation. My friends all sent a wedding invite to the prez, and he sends you back a congrats letter :) I'm sure that's what she did.

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

Yes. Someone you know sent in a request for it.

Just because a bunch of bible thumpers helped the dude into the Oval Office does not mean that one would need to welcome any correspondence from the #######. :no:
