I am so grateful to have known the excitement of sending and receiving mail. I loved writing letters to my grandmother and my friends, perusing the new phone books and catalogues. I even feel nostalgic for some of the “junk” mail. My mother-in-law still clips articles and brings them over. It makes you feel so good that she knows you well enough to think you would appreciate something about the article—and that she takes the time to get the scissors, cut it out, sometimes even highlight a line or two, and hand-deliver it.
Linda! As always, you’ve hit the target🤣!

Linda, this is one of my favorite stories you've written. I totally relate and feel sad those days are over. Thanks for writing this. Love, Marcia
Oh for that galaxy so far away! Sigh ..,
