Your words were encouraging!<br /><br />So funny you posted on this particular subject today. I spent most of the weekend writing notes to various friends/family that God has put on my heart lately. Sure would have been easy to shoot an e-mail, but God had me do these particular notes by hand. You are correct, it is a special treasure to receive a handwritten note from a friend. :) <br /><br />Blessings,<br />stephanieocean mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08420605508420197677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912418398177032196.post-9160463611009331612009-11-16T07:20:09.816-08:002009-11-16T07:20:09.816-08:00G'morning, I'm bj and so happy to meet yo...G'morning, I'm bj and so happy to meet you. Another blogger, Jenn, told me about you and I wanted to come over and say HI !<br />I love your post this morning. I am of the generation that wrote letters all the time..I got them as a young girl from my daddy that lived far away from his little girl. I got them from my grandpa..and my Aunt Myrt. Then, in high school, from my boyfriends and I always had a pen pal across the sea from me.<br />I have several love letters from my hubby of almost 50 years...and I still get excited as can be when I find a REAL and PERSONAL letter...just to ME !! <br />Yes, letter writing is fast becoming a lost art and I feel pretty sure we will never 'get it back'. For this, I am sorry. All my grandkids live right here in the same town but I see to it that all 10 of them get a Christmas card from their Memaw and Granddad, IN THE MAIL..addressed just to them. And, staying with a tradition my daddy started so long ago with me, I always include just one stick of gum !!! :O)<br />I am signing up to follow...bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912418398177032196.post-43613842317326608842009-11-15T16:00:21.357-08:002009-11-15T16:00:21.357-08:00I know what you mean about the letter writing. Ma...I know what you mean about the letter writing. Maybe we should exchange addresses and do some letter writing. I love the blogs and comments and exchanges there but you're right, you can't wrap a blue ribbon around the impersonal 8.5 x 11" paper it's printed on. <br />On another note. I simply could not get to sleep last night. I laugh as I think about this now. I think I fell asleep by 2:30 or 3 a.m. I know I looked at the clock at 5 a.m. Anyway, as I lay there with an abundance of thoughts, I got to wondering ... 'where's Ginger?'. I've been reading quite a few blogs and have several on my blog whereby I just click and go read. It took me a few minutes to put the little thumbnail of the pound cake...dwelling in the house....and ah! Ginger! So I have NOT inadvertently skipped your blog afterall! Phew! And then, I went on to other thoughts ... yawned an awful lot in church. Took a nap (at home). Still extremely sleepy. Laughing. JennAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
