Gary always gets me a beautiful card for Anniversary (the 10th of Feb.) and Valentines (the 14th, of course) but this year we made a pact that we would not worry about cards. We are trying to keep from getting the flu and minimizing our time in the "crowds" as much as possible.

That meant more than any card or gift she could have bought me. <br /><br />Yes, I agree--the description of Cam's land and life made more of an impression than the cornbread question, and I was so glad it came down to Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-59254893022517092582018-02-10T17:38:16.201-06:002018-02-10T17:38:16.201-06:00Kristy, that's so cool--and especially to have...Kristy, that's so cool--and especially to have those special memories just between the two of you like that.

And what a wonderful day--to check the mail and find a letter in the mailbox from one of my friends, relatives or "special cousins" (I had several cousins who were just my age and we wrote back and forth a lot).

When the hero and heroine have to depend upon letters and telegrams, both of which were slow (relatively speaking) and could more easily be intercepted or even lost, there are all sorts of plot twists that can show up: letter intercepted, letter lost for weeks,Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-27931450298652769002018-02-10T12:31:16.216-06:002018-02-10T12:31:16.216-06:00Such great sounding stories, not enough time to re...Such great sounding stories, not enough time to read then as quickly as I wish.
