Got a letter today

[Ronstar]

I receive hand written thank you notes occasionally, but not letters. I do hand write letters - last one was a few months ago. I hand write almost everything - I read that it helps your memory. https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/20...n_9735384.html

When I lived in Phoenix I would go into 3rd grade classrooms and talk to the children about turtles and snakes. I always had a few box turtles that the kids could see and handle. I always got the cutest letters and drawing from the kids thanking me, that I am sure the treacher made them write. I recycled them all last month, sigh.

My husband loves to write and receive letters. He has about 5 old friends who write back and forth with him.

I just remembered when a handwritten letter helped me buy a house. I live in a popular college town and wanted to buy a non-student house within walking distance of campus, these places are hard to find. I heard through the grape vine about a house that was potentially coming on the market. I got the owners name (older lady) and address from the tax listings and wrote her a nice handwritten letter telling her about myself, that I would be interested in her house if it came on the market, etc. I got a handwritten letter back and eventually bought the house. I have to think the handwritten letter did it.

Yeah, it has also been a long time since I had to get up, walk to the TV to change the channel. But I don't miss it.
