She treasured them and it made me happy to think of the pleasure we shared in sending and receiving. <br />Thanks for the reminder. <br />Chrisartistchrisartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04006389335078462260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-83941569430724708902011-04-01T23:09:19.666+11:002011-04-01T23:09:19.666+11:00I love postcards.

I'm overseas with DH and DD2 has decided to be a 'bit difficult' or, in other words be in a 'snit' with me but will not talk about it or answer my frantic emails and FBook messages. I don't know what 'I've done' which is the frustrating part...but tomorrow I'm going to find a postcard and send it to her with a cheerful message! Thanks again!Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594244181463706442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-11438976937145937962011-04-01T12:58:40.556+11:002011-04-01T12:58:40.556+11:00Yes, I too love postcards and I still buy them alo...Yes, I too love postcards and I still buy them along with those silly touristy t-shirts and send them to my dad. <br />These days everyone is in such a rush and everything done by hand seems to compromise convenience (It's a shame). I remember how fanciful it felt to brag about your pen pals, man if you brag about something as archaic as that nowadays you'll probably get the stares.Sbb1 Wellnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10969745146022392092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-9816107930552113972011-04-01T12:00:51.732+11:002011-04-01T12:00:51.732+11:00That is so NICE your children do that - ummm I mig...That is so NICE your children do that - ummm I might do that for my mum even if we are in the same city...

They are hard to find, but so exciting when they appear from no where!Kelly Rhoadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533283214320938904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4669538441242490462.post-34485679805769227242011-04-01T10:53:14.382+11:002011-04-01T10:53:14.382+11:00YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, I love handwritten whether it b...YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES, I love handwritten whether it be a postcard, letter or quick note. <br />Nothing but nothing beats finding an envelope with your address handwritten on it, in the letterbox.<br />A letter from my sister in the UK with the Royal Mail stamp on it makes my heart skip a beat with excitement.<br />When we went to the UK a few years ago, I had a list of 23 or so people to send postcards to. I was excited to be on holiday and wanted to share it. <br /><br />I love emails and comments on my blog but to think someone sat down and took the time to write a letter, well..........<br /><br />How lovely of your kids to send you those postcards, very special.<br /><br />Email me your address and I will send you a postcard from my corner of the globe.<br /><br />Claire :)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.com
