Welcome, I’m Libby
Thank you for visiting my blog. I live in Plano, Texas where my husband and I are very involved in being happy senior adults. You will find that my blog reflects our lives and activities as well as the goings-on of our two grown children and ten grandchildren. There may even be something the Lord leads me to compose and share. Needless to say, we stay busy and sharing our busyness with you makes me happy. I do hope you will stop by and share a cup of tea with me often.

I do believe the art of a handwritten note is a lost art form. I can't remember the last time I got a handwritten letter in the mail. My Mom always sends eloquent thank you cards if that counts? Your Dad seemed like a writer - you must get your gift from him. Love that you kept the letters from your parents. It almost seems as if you could turn them into a book! xo
ReplyDeleteI still love sending and receiving handwritten mail. Although I did not grow up in a denomination that practiced 'giving something up' for Lent this year I decided I was going to send a letter to someone every day of the 40 days.
ReplyDeleteSeveral of these letters were simple thank yous to people who serve in roles that don't always get a thanks, some were to older family members who I know love getting mail and then an assortment of others. It has inspired me to write at least one letter a week!
I love handwritten notes and letters. So special. On my blog I started a snail mail swap to write letters to each other.
ReplyDeleteHope your having a good day!
i don't hand write letters enough. it really is something to be treasured. thanks for encouraging me to do so.

I still love to send notes to people. But email sure makes it easier but will never replace the excitement of getting a letter through the mail!
ReplyDeleteI have a stack of "love" letters from my hubby that he wrote me while serving in the military the fall before we married in 1971. I wouldn't trade them for anything!
Libby, you have a lovely blog!!
Libby, I absolutely love browsing your blog - beautifully written words from a grateful heart! And the photos are priceless. You are truly blessed with adoring grandchildren and I know they bring you so much joy! You bring out the real meaning of living life to its fullest. Thank you for sharing with us so we can enjoy your experiences, too. I also enjoyed the spectacular photos made on your walking trip ... I think I'm coveting! :-)
ReplyDeleteHello! I am one of those few people who writes with a quill pen and ink. I use the 19th century style cursive for my letters and journal entries. Cursive writing is so uncommon that when I am writing a letter or making a journal entry, people will comment "I love your calligraphy!" They are surprised when I tell them it is not calligraphy but cursive handwriting. I am trained as a teacher with an MA in Education and I can tell you that cursive is no longer taught in schools. Many a college instructor has told me that quite a few of their students cannot read cursive on the blackboard let alone write it. The founding documents for the USA specifying our rights and freedoms are written in cursive and many of the present generation of school children and the ones in future generations will not be able to read the documents of the Founding Fathers of this country
