autumn greetings

I wonder how much use there is for autumnal greeting cards. 

Maybe a thank you after a Thanksgiving dinner invitation. 

Or just a hand written note to say "thinking of you."

Hand written notes or letters is a subject dear to my heart. 

And it seems to be a dying art. There is so much history found in old letters.

There is great loss in our lack of writing letters, or in emails forever deleted.

Sometimes when a grandchild visits we write a letter to mommy and daddy, address it, 

put on a stamp, and walk it out to our mailbox. If we're around at the right time, 

we can even see the mailperson pick up the letter. And then, the next day, 

I ask their mommy to have them help her get the mail from their mailbox.

 Maybe it instills a bit of the joy of communicating with pen and paper. 

At least they will know how to do it! I enjoy writing letters 

to them or my nieces and nephews, because . . .

. . . is there anything quite like finding a real letter in the mail?
