I have not 4 got 10 you

From my collection

Dear Cal,
  I have not fogotten you, or any of the rest of my friends.  You know how it is... as each bit of time passes by it becomes harder and harder to return to the habit of writing, no matter how much a person cares about the process, the method, and the friends.  The message above is quite pointed and I'll bet that Mr. A. DeCasto of Danners, Mass was in big trouble with the person who sent this card--no signature needed, apparently!  For whatever reason he kept it, and it's easy to see that nothing has really changed over the last 100+ years. Oh yes, and I'm still looking for a card from you!

All my best,
Kate

Postcards

Refrigerator door

 

Dear Cal,

  I added a new card to the collection the other day.  Vera sent it from Pennsylvania--pretty picture but they missed the fall colors by about two weeks.  You have to admit that my small collection is somewhat impressive--oh come on,  you know it is!  Oman, Italy, England, and three states in this picture.  I love being remembered by someone off seeing the sights of the world. 

All my best,
Kate

An invitation

Dear Sonja,
  I received the postcard from Betty inviting me to join the ensemble.  She says that practice starts on Wednesday, September 14th, time TBA.  She didn't mention the place.  I can't tell you how much I miss the singing, it's almost like I've forgotten how.  I feel like the time to sing is coming, but it isn't here yet.  What I want to say is Bless. Her. Beautiful. Heart.  She doesn't give up in calling me back.  I hope you will join them though.

All my best,
Kate

In the mail



Mather Point - Grand Canyon

Dear Rebekah,
  Thanks so much for the real letter--it feels like such a privilege to get a real, hand addressed envelope in the mail.  I'll put your new address in my book and will send a postcard off this week. I remember the mad dash to the mailboxes when I was in college; however it comes it's always a real boost to know that someone's thinking of you.  Be watching for the Grand Canyon, I was there in the springtime.  Hope to see you at Christmas.

All my best,
Kate
