And, well, I'm so glad she did. Handwritten anything is this lost art I think. I really liked what you had to say especially this,<BR/>"Maybe that's why I like blogging. By writing about my life, I feel validated - especially in the last few months, when I've felt completely washed away. But by recording my experiences, it's somehow proof that I am here. Sort of like how thank yous are proof you received a gift."Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897963154223770756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-59837052262698790232009-01-05T20:28:00.000-06:002009-01-05T20:28:00.000-06:00Well, I like, especially like, reading YOUR blog. ...Well, I like, especially like, reading YOUR blog. I am horrible at writing thank you's. My mom always said what you did - "lady thing to do" but that didn't work for my brother so he just added to mine. She could've said gentlemanly thing to do to him but didn't, let him mooch. She also had the idea that ladies paint their toenails (not necessarily fingernails, but toenails should always be especially trimmed, clean and painted).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the dog singing story too - made me chuckle.Tumble Fish Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548274352591532536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-59394264467094359452009-01-05T20:23:00.000-06:002009-01-05T20:23:00.000-06:00You mean you're supposed to USE all those pretty c...You mean you're supposed to USE all those pretty cards, notes and papers? I joke, but only a little. I love paper, the feel, the color, the texture, all of it. I enjoy making my own cards and then it becomes even more of a gift.jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925212233815659494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-35180015709670215082009-01-05T19:51:00.000-06:002009-01-05T19:51:00.000-06:00Oh Cha Cha, I heart you!

I'm a total stationery shop addict (I have a store card for the nearest one and got my first 10 Euro voucher just before Christmas - oh, the excitement!) and can't resist any of the notebooks, note cards, post cards, pens, pencils, handicrafts stuff... It's such a treasure trove!<BR/>And I've just made my list of thank you notes to write (by me and the girls).<BR/>I feel like we're soul sisters!<BR/>PS I love Bruce too and used to listen to The River, sobbing my aching teenage heart into my pillow, on many a lonely, heartbroken night...Magic27https://www.blogger.com/profile/08701211538213404730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-57237410713939311722009-01-05T16:59:00.000-06:002009-01-05T16:59:00.000-06:00Ah, the thank yous.

I also make all 3 boys write them (at their ability/level, G just draws pictures of gratitude and signs his name since he's only 4). It does separate us from the chimps;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-18330792170184330672009-01-05T13:55:00.000-06:002009-01-05T13:55:00.000-06:00Aw, crap... you just reminded me about what I forg...Aw, crap... you just reminded me about what I forgot to have Lauren do when she was on Christmas break.

Unfortunately, I don't write as many notes as I'd like since most of my correspondence is on the computer but just the look and feel of those great pieces of paper make me happy!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596416561362483550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-41960645355454839682009-01-05T07:31:00.000-06:002009-01-05T07:31:00.000-06:00I heart Dave, too...what a great post, it got me t...I heart Dave, too...<BR/><BR/>what a great post, it got me thinking about my grandparents and how I wish I had had more time with them. <BR/><BR/>And thank you notes!

The other hidden benefit is the possibility of encouraging continued generosity! ;)<BR/><BR/>I share your sentiments entirely. I wish I had more of my grandparents' lives documented. <BR/><BR/>@ LaDue: What a blessing!you gotta wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185948145655907204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301586145140787353.post-19771415785642767842009-01-04T23:44:00.000-06:002009-01-04T23:44:00.000-06:00Dave Grohl...hehehe.While I bet I am no where near...Dave Grohl...hehehe.<BR/><BR/>While I bet I am no where near as disciplined as you in writing Thank You's, I love all thing's stationary. I look for excuses to buy it. I also see how my children's penmanship is crap since computer's have been a large part of how they work in school. Sad.<BR/><BR/>I have all of my grandmothers writings as well. She wrote a column for the Orlando newspaper before she died- I think that is where I got my sarcasm from ;-) She was a sassy Italian broad.<BR/><BR/>Something interesting happened today- a neighbor and her husband both passed away within months of each other a few months ago. Her family was here cleaning out the house, got overwhelmed, and gave the remaining contents to my husband and I. Loads of amazing items- but what has made me breathless are the boxes upon boxes of letters that were saved from when the husband was in WWII. I now have thousands of letters, still with the original envelopes, that the husband wrote to his wife while in Europe. As I go through and read, I will have to share some with you- they are amazing... romantic... and sad. I can't wait to read them all.LaDue & Crewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379105459474039116noreply@blogger.com
