And being that postal communication seems to be dying out in favour of e-mail and e-cards, I kind of miss the old ways of receiving a letter or postcard in the mail. :)Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-87812572124497626032016-10-27T04:12:06.026-07:002016-10-27T04:12:06.026-07:00That's a really good idea.

Guess I'll just hold on to it until we meet again. :-) I guess the postcard concept does come with a few "issues"... I do still send my 95-year-old oma (my favorite grandma) postcards once in a while. Drove through North Dakota on the way to Alaska many moons ago. Wouldn't do it in winter!
