Lucky me - I now have two cards!

We have to drive to our nearby small town to pick up our mail. Today, there was a lovely surprise for me as @Gillygirl had sent me a very attractive postcard showing scenes from her village. This was actually the second card Gill had sent me as just last week I received an early birthday card. Gill is one of three myLotters who share a birthdate. Mine is at the end of the month. Thanks so much, Gill. It’s so nice to receive personal mail. It doesn’t happen too often nowadays.

@judyev So long since I’ve posted a letter that I’ve forgotten what stamps taste like to lick and I’m happy enough with that.

It obviously is a long time - nowadays the stamps are self-adhesive!

Thanks for the good wishes. We don't have any plans yet. I'm sure Vince will cook me a nice meal. We'll be trying to get the shed finished while we have the scaffolding.

Yes I like to receive mail and it is a nice feeling when the postman text me that I have a letter or package from someone.

@JudyEv No in my town the post office is close because of that and I only pick up the parcel or mail in the next town after mine and it took half an hour to reach there.

How sweet. You are right, people do not get personal mail anymore. It's all bills and junk in the mailbox now.

Those are very nice cards. And they reminded me that I need to send birthday wishes to a dear old - as in I've known a long time, not that she's old - friend.

@crazyhorseladycx That's lovely that you write to those members. I'd forgotten that I'd asked not to be sent a card. I was right into downsizing and decluttering at the time. Still am actually. :)

In this digital world, personal mail concept has lost its charm.... Honestly I do send letters once a while to friends and family... It's a sweet gesture

I miss the days when people actually wrote letters. I have actually kept a few old "love letters." They're in my top desk drawer. I don't want to lose them.
