This is delightful, Rosemary. Our son showed me the thank-you letter he'd received from his nephew, our 16 year-old grandson, and it too was so well-written and interesting.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-45004808102620649472016-01-11T20:41:25.698+00:002016-01-11T20:41:25.698+00:00You are right Shane so many things are done comple...You are right Shane so many things are done completely differently today - things that we probably took for granted no longer happen anymore. <br />We both enjoyed this letter so much - it put smiles on our faces and gave us a warm hug.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-68374694726712532602016-01-11T20:36:43.198+00:002016-01-11T20:36:43.198+00:00It is lovely that your daughter takes time to writ...It is lovely that your daughter takes time to write to you from Switzerland it is especially nice when members of the family are living away in other countries.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-1602327175318439332016-01-11T16:26:36.751+00:002016-01-11T16:26:36.751+00:00What precious letter to keep Rosemary!

When I see nice sets of cards and writing pads, I send them to her.<br />In no time I receive a newsy letter telling me all about what's happening in France.<br />I re-read her letters over and over again - I don't do this with emails!<br />Restores my faith in gentile ways that are slipping away.<br />ShaneRoses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-46718334421389210412016-01-11T15:13:45.702+00:002016-01-11T15:13:45.702+00:00The old-fashioned paper letters are just wonderful...The old-fashioned paper letters are just wonderful to receive.
