Mary & Me

Last week I was honored to be able to read a rough draft of my mom and her friend's book Mary & Me (not to be released until Sept. 8th but already for pre-order through Amazon!).
It's a book about friendship. A book about women. A book about mothers, wives, and relationships. But especially about a friendship spanning close to 30 years and involving thousands of letters back and forth.

I loved it! 

And it made me want to sit down and write a letter. 
It was only fitting that a few days later I hit the jackpot at a thrift store of vintage stationery. All this for $3.55?! Who can complain about that?

I've had penpals since the age of 10. My longest standing penpal and I have been writing to each other for 20 years. There is just something about a letter that can not compare to a phone call, e-mail, or quick comment on Facebook. It truly is a lasting link through ink.

    2. due to the high cost of postage here in Canada I tend to send emails. I have even cut back as much as possible with Christmas Cards. Also remember nearly all our family and friends are in Britain where it costs over $2.50 CDN for a stamp to mail anything to them. I'd rather call someone it's more personal and cheaper!!

    3. Oh, yes, a letter that expensive may have to be saved for a special occasion!
