Do you remember the thrill and the bliss of opening your mailbox and finding a card from a friend? A handwritten letter, a thank you note, a birthday card that did not have a URL? I do. In fact, I remember spending my hard earned cash on a box of books from Current magazine and distributing them freely and frequently to girlfriends and grandmothers, the sick and the celebratory. It was a small passion of mine. Now I email someone this cute emoticon or this witty photo and caption. I have loved ones signed up at birthday alarm so that I can email them a card that they have to link to...It saves on postage, and is usually free, but where is the romance, people???? I am starting a campaign within my own life to start sending out the snail mail again. I am going to do it...If I need to follow a 12 step program, I am going to do it!! Now if I can only find my address book...hmmm. Maybe they are all on file somewhere on my C drive.

I'm a big fan of snail mail. Lynn Skalsky and I correspond that way and I love the joy of getting a hand-written letter. I will join you in your crusade :-)
Cool! Let's support the United States Postal Service...they must be hating all this email stuff.

Awesome possum! I love to write and recieve mail too. I've been weekly writing my sister Sonja who is in teen challenge. But I'd LOVE to get a card or two from some of my friends. I promise to respond if you write to me. Perhaps I should just get the ball rolling myself. :0)

Hey, did anyone get an updated mailing list from Fourth of July party?
Nope, not me...there was a list going around though, I seem to recall.
I don't know who was in charge of the list. Maybe MamaK...
