I love that letters were the first part of our love story.

Do you write letters? I suppose I should ask, Do you like getting letters? If so, you should write them. I have openings for pen pals. Email me your address, and I'll send you something lovely. {anna.v.fialka@gmail.com}

ReplyDeleteLiz, what a wonderful gift! You are a lucky duck to have a writing mama :)
ReplyDeleteBrooke, go you! That's a great idea! I love it. What kinds of things do you put in their letters?
