Dear Friends,
In my childhood days, I remembered, my mom and I would
walked down our one mile long gravel driveway to
check for mail. It was the highlight of the day, to open the metal door
and see if there was a letter or an birthday card.
My mother had beautiful handwriting, in her school days
penmanship was one of the most important subject to learn
and it was to be mastered as an art form.
Beatrix Potter is a favorite mine.
Sometimes in a antique store you may find some vintage letters,
the ones that are all bundled up with a ribbon or a string tied
around them. These old letters are American history, a time of
war or of days gone by. These letters were beautifully written
and even though we may not know the people who wrote
them, by the end the last letter, we feel like we know them
quite well.
I heard that writing to a pen pals is making a come back, that is wonderful!
If you find the time, write someone who is dear to you,
it will bring a smile to their face, as they reach into
the mailbox to find a lovely letter hand written by you.
Simply Farmhouse.
P.S. If you haven't seen the movie of Miss Potter,
I highly recommend it! It is basic on her life.
