What has become of us? You are right: use up all that stationary. It will make someone's day. And we all could use a little bit of that!Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-49079910683772804232014-02-28T22:40:16.743-08:002014-02-28T22:40:16.743-08:00I've heard that said, too--and believe me, I&#...I've heard that said, too--and believe me, I'm as jealous of those with boxes of old letters as you are. These few I've been able to find are indeed treasures to me.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by with your kind words at just the right moment. I think we all are searching for as many ways as possible to preserve these glimpses into our families' past.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-10713892228235507352014-02-28T21:14:22.836-08:002014-02-28T21:14:22.836-08:00Hardly anyone writes letters anymore..lined paper ...Hardly anyone writes letters anymore..lined paper and all..I do have a few friends I write to and have a supply of old stationary...I should use it up:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-78869328408857690022014-02-28T15:06:04.350-08:002014-02-28T15:06:04.350-08:00I love the old letters.

I heard someone speak that said with us relying so much on texting, emails etc. for communication, the generations that follow will not have that glance within our lives because most of us will not be leaving behind the boxes of old letters or diaries. I am ever grateful for the few things that I have, but you, Jacqi, have a gold mine. Thanks for the beautiful way in which you share your treasures.
