I enjoyed your writing and your pictures. I, too, was brought up by writing all kinds of notes and my mom wrote me many a letter while I was in college. One that I still have was written on my stationary with strawberries all around the edge. My mom noted that she wrote on my little girl stationary which I love. I am grateful for my bed!
How beautiful, Mary. I, too, am a writer of letters and thank you notes. I'm also a reader of letters -- the fancy word is epistolary writing, as in the epistles that are read in church. I once stood in the stacks of the UVM library reading a book of love letters between Michael Collins (Some called him an Irish "freedom fighter", others called him a "terrorist") and his beloved fiancé, Kitty Kiernan. Keep writing, Mary.

Lovely!
