Recently in the Mail
Happily, I
have gotten my life back (not that I really lost it) and am again
feeling normal and balanced. The kids have returned to school and I have
rediscovered my comfy routine. Now to guard the CR carefully.
i want to share a couple pieces of mail I received in the past few weeks. First is a post card from Paris. This is delightful.
I was immediately struck by the beauty of her handwriting. Struck or seized with jealousy; I am not certain which. Everything about this envelope is beautiful. I love this stamp. Not only do I appreciate its traditional elegance, but I have an inexplicable fondness for the Queen. Anna's easy, conversational style is delightful, and like Kathleen, whom you have already met, she included a few goodies. I'll share more about that next time. For now, it is good to be back and thank you, Readers, for your letters.

This postcard is special not
because it is beautiful, though it is, but because the sender is
anonymous. I can not make out the signature and no return address is
given. The message simply says, "Mrs. Duffy, Just a card all the way
from Paris. Have a great day. :)" JUST a card all the way from Paris.
It's more like, WOW! A card all the way from Paris! Weeks later I have
the same warm feelings I initially had imagining a stranger in a distant
place thinking of me and sending a postcard simply for the pleasure it
gives. Thank you, anonymous card sender, you have made Mrs. Duffy quite
the happy lady.
The stamp is also enjoyable.

Next is a letter from Anna. I
was especially happy to receive Anna's letter because she has commented
on Letter Matters before. When I saw the sender's name I hoped is was
the same Anna and indeed it was.
