It was dated July 8, 1993 -- exactly 26 years before it showed up at a home in Springfield, Illinois.

Kim Draper told CNN she thought the postcard was just delivered to the wrong house when it arrived on July 8."I first looked at it and I just thought it might be [for] one of my neighbors that I didn't know, because it's in such good condition," Draper said."And then I really got to looking at it and reading it, and was like, 'This is from 1993.' It kind of blew me over.

The card indeed arrived at the correct address -- just more than a quarter-century late, she said.She decided to try to find the couple.Draper said the person she bought the house from didn't know them, but thought that they might have rented the house from a previous owner. Their names also didn't show up in online property tax records.She found a Leena Kizilbash on Facebook in Massachusetts, but didn't see a way to contact her to find out if she was the right person.
