I am sad that letter writing has lots it&#39;s luster to emails and brief text messaging in today&#39;s society. I would take a handwritten note anyday and still regularly send them out ;) I still remember when I had a penpal as a girl and have saved every letter and postcard she ever sent me...I cherish them.Alice W.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15896697757844394809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182851052777964857.post-31796222387199531632009-11-11T12:00:00.913-07:002009-11-11T12:00:00.913-07:00Now that sounds wonderful. What a art that is dying..... not only do people not &quot;write&quot; anymore they do not even &quot;write in an email.. just those terrible forwards..... I hate them....... I write about three people faithfully from my years in high school but all they do is reply with a FORWARD,,,,,,, Thanks for sharing this........ there is hope..Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12492336975389718296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182851052777964857.post-23409607503146338412009-11-11T09:46:43.263-07:002009-11-11T09:46:43.263-07:00letter writing is definitely a lost art and this type of swap is something i may have to consider in the future! my only fear would be that my life is not that exciting to share! lolCindyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10000332421371934214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182851052777964857.post-48118420533353145952009-11-11T02:48:27.835-07:002009-11-11T02:48:27.835-07:00Hello my dear Margaret, I realize after reading this post, that the most things that we do goes by computer. It&#39;s lovely to read that some people do write letters by hand and send them. Something to think about.<br />I wish you a lovely week with lots of letters from the postman.<br />Lovely greetings from MeaMayflowerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03819380253762536184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182851052777964857.post-58489529262292382402009-11-10T19:48:35.583-07:002009-11-10T19:48:35.583-07:00I&#39;ll bet that is the postman with a letter for you! <br />That is neat how the kids know how to play together LOL...what a concept, huh?

Now that I cannot write that much by hand after my surgery it is so sad, I have to write my long letters on the screen and print them! It is wonderful anyway, snail mail letters and cards have such a charm...<br />I keep ALL cards and letters from my hubby and the dearest friends of mine (I have entire boxes of them!! I will show one day).<br />Hugs,<br />Monicaxo.The White Benchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11541697451249535177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182851052777964857.post-49085247608033942992009-11-10T00:39:10.865-07:002009-11-10T00:39:10.865-07:00Oh this is a great idea! There is nothing like getting nice letters, cards and parcels, don&#39;t you think? About 25 years ago I did something like this with a girl I met at charity work, which is still a friend, we &#39;swapped&#39; funny postcards and wrote funny messages and about 15 years ago with a collegea during my maternity leave. Mmm, long time ago...I should do this again...thanks for inspiration. <br />PS. I took my first lesson &#39;how to make a bear&#39; at Rosabears&#39; Marja yesterday, it was so much fun!LiLi M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/14242615020311128940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182851052777964857.post-68857611326132424912009-11-09T22:56:24.450-07:002009-11-09T22:56:24.450-07:00Dear, Sweet Margaret...<br />I wrote about you in my blog for Tuesday&#39;s post.
