It’s unfortunate that along with the demise of teaching cursive in many schools, writing in general is not emphasized or taught. I doubt very much that children are taught, as I was, how to write a letter properly. It’s very sad. We are losing so much, and they won’t even know what they don’t have.

Used to send a lot more, but sadly as time goes by, people have passed on or stop sending one back. Often wonder have they gone on too? Or have they just decided in this day of computers and E-Mails to just stop sending them? It is a tradition that I sorely miss, as I too am now in that older category and miss the beautiful cards, and newsy letters often received that once a year.

I have just finished making 80 cards! Maybe that is enough! Still send to several old friends…the only communication we have which each other all year! Look forward to the letters! Have received one with a collage of pictures from summer weddings of gr children. Mine will be abbreviated this year…just a few facts. Oh well, have to get busy on that I guess! Just the truth that’s all!

I’ve always sent cards to all the older folks but most have passed on….I’m the old folks now. The younger generation 30’s-40’s don’t bother sending cards or doing much of anything except staying glued to their phones. Sad!

My list seems to get shorter every year though. An email or text isn’t the same as being able to display , hold, and re read them even a year later.
