There it was, tucked in between a few bills, some junk mail, and the latest LL Bean catalog - the awaited with anticipation notecard from our ten year old granddaughter. She left for Summer camp the week before saying we were on her list and that she'd write and tell us all about the experience. Of course she came home before the note - explanation being they were so busy and having so much fun she didn't mail her cards until the very last day. That's fine, just glad camp was fun. Teaching children to hand write Birthday cards, "thank you" and "thinking of you" notes is still so important in this day of e-mail and text messaging. Nothing beats opening the mailbox and seeing a handwritten envelope knowing something special is inside - my heart gets all a flutter!!
Of course it was Grandma, who sat her down and had her address her envelopes before leaving for camp................after all that's just another little extra special thing Grandmas do!!
........................hope you are inspired to hand write a card, a note or a letter to someone special this weekend. I'll be writing mine from the coast - have packed my little art box and will embellish my page with some tiny sketches of the ocean, seabirds, and shells perhaps. Enjoy your Summer weekend.
