I've been writing to Camille (Archives of Our Lives) and sending each other goodies from our respective countries. It's so exciting to open your mailbox and receive a letter from Canada or from somewhere else!<br />I've been also writing letters to Rachel (Dreaming of the Country) and Maureen (Adventures in the Underground). All of them blog friends! And now they are my penpals!<br />We could do the same, Nain...

Despite the requests for money and CDs...I've found the letters more honest and touching than any email I've received. Best of all his handwriting is great from the years of practice:) But I agree, letters are a lost (but not dead) art.Dewan Gibsonhttp://www.imperfectenjoyment.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-8193400926738230172011-01-06T12:27:32.922-05:002011-01-06T12:27:32.922-05:00And bring my horrific penmanship back to the publi...And bring my horrific penmanship back to the public eye????

I made ...I guess I'm already ahead of the game! I made a pact with a friend back home that once I moved to Georgia, we would write letters. I just sat down yesterday and wrote a letter to her. I'll be dropping it in the mail this morning!<br /><br />I agree, it is a dying art. It's so fun receiving (and sending!) something so thoughtful and personal in the mail. <br /><br />I plan to send letters out to more people, but I don't want to overwhelm myself too much at the beginning, haha.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614017411754265254noreply@blogger.com
