What Drives Me Batty About A Pen Friend

04/30/2012 by Sandra Leave a Comment

 

 

Went to the mailbox the other day to see if I had any mail waiting. I was so glad to see two letters and pull them out and immediately my smile turned to a smirk.  Warning a dose of sarcasm coming at you, you have been warned.

 

 

 

What could I have seen in this mailbox that gave me a look of oh poop not again well it’s

 

Tiny Letter

a tiny letter.  It was so small when I opened the envelope I had a hard time finding the darn letter.  It gripes me to no end that someone month after month can take the time and effort to write down 5 lines on a sheet of tiny note paper.  On top of that they have to pay postage to send such letter on it’s way.  Come on people put a little effort in it and write a regular letter.  It really isn’t that difficult and I know you can do it.

EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND - JANUARY 25:  Dr Nancy Gr...

 

See like this nice example I found on the net, it doesn’t even have to be on fancy paper, or typed.  As long as I can read it and it’s a letter with content all else can be over looked.

 

Fortunately, I get only like two or so of these a month so that I am thankful for.  Ok I will get off my soap box now, back to regular posting.

My desk as it looks at the end of this week, it doesn’t always look this organized.  When I am in the middle of writing it is a huge mess.  This is a toned down version of my desk.

 

Well that is all for this week of Mail Call, see you again next week.  If you have a blog and post your photos please share a link as I would love to take a peek.
