Lovely journalling, you are right, we hardly ever get hand written mail now, apart from the odd postcard. I do think i have more contact with family and friends through the internet though which is more important to me.
Beautiful journaling -- this NEEDS to be a LO, Hon!! FYI - we have this exact same style of mailbox :)
Great shot - going into my Favorites!

Just beautifully said, dear Erjann. I always cherish a handwritten note, too. I had a penpal in Ireland when I was a girl. I wonder how she is today as we stopped writing as we grew into our teens.
very nice journaling, well said. I had penpals or " Aerosmith" buddies as we'd call each other growing up. We'd write and send clippings to each other. I miss getting personal stuff in the mail.
Great journaling! I agree with that 100%.. Letters are wonderful. My best friend always teases me too because I never finish one in a sitting. Instead she gets these month long letters with a series of dates throughout.
I have had many kinds of mailboxes in my life. Some at the end of a long long driveway, some at the Post Office, some along the road with dried grasses by the post and grasshoppers to greet me when I paused, one was a slot in my front door, and now this. As a child they were magic to me. "Wish Books" came and I spent hours choosing toys and school clothes, letters came that made my mother laugh or cry, bills came that made my father quiet. Once in a while on a magic day a box would arrive. Everyone wanted to be the one to open it and release the gift of joy it surely brought. I remember wishing someone, anyone, would send ME something. Now I sit here and whisk letters off around the world in seconds. It is wonderful to talk to so many so easily yet I miss Dec 1 when Grandma Spear's Christmas letter came all in ONE long sentence, painfully written in English, sharing her life for another year. I miss the ink and link with someone's hand.
