Anne has certainly had an impact on me; I love to immerse myself in that world every so often. Congratulations on your article; I'd love to read it. And thank you for sharing the lovely letter.

Yes, I've had Alexandra's Gift ...Hi Patti,<br /><br />Yes, I've had Alexandra's Gift of a Letter for years. It really is a lovely book.<br /><br />I still refer to it now and then, and I still do hand written notes and cards, just not as often as I used to before the Internet. I now enjoy using both methods of communication.<br /><br />Our technology has certainly changed things for the way we hand down things for the next generation. Makes me also think of digital picture vs. photos one can hold in one's hand. It won't be the same for sure, but I think people are learning how to store these for the future.<br /><br />Brenda :)<br /><br />Brenda @ Its A Beautiful Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955486477303938670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-29200095320234746162014-07-04T06:49:30.473-06:002014-07-04T06:49:30.473-06:00how fun a husband who cooks...I could handle that!...how fun a husband who cooks...I could handle that!Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-51412571744271670972014-07-03T21:41:48.511-06:002014-07-03T21:41:48.511-06:00Hi Brenda, I love the description of your garden a...Hi Brenda, I love the description of your garden and birds.

While I DO email, I also regularly send cards to friends and family. (Sometimes, if I'm really on the ball, I even make my own cards.)<br /><br />Have you ever read Alexandra Stoddard's "Gift of a Letter?" It's a delightful little book, which will inspire you to get back to the old-fashioned art of letter writing. Most of us delete emails, but we hold onto letters and cards for years---decades even. Some people have discovered a veritable treasure chest of letters their parents exchanged during WWII. Now, sadly, with email and text, the next generation will not be as lucky. There won't be any handwritten letters to hold onto.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />PattiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-22198605375774929872014-07-03T10:24:04.021-06:002014-07-03T10:24:04.021-06:00Handwritten notes are gifts to be treasured.

She's had huge influence on me, too. <br />Our Canada Day was spent away from the crowds as well, and we hung our beautiful flag off the back of the boat.Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-53732185866462000842014-07-03T09:07:43.603-06:002014-07-03T09:07:43.603-06:00HI Brenda, such a lovely tradition.

I do write old fashioned letters, but only to a few close friends and relatives now, and not so often. I do like to add a short letter to birthday and holiday cards (yes, I still send those, too!) That being said, I do rely on the computer most of the time and isn't it wonderful to have instant communication! Congratulations on your writing assignment! Well done!
