I continued diligently until my mom could write no more. I also stopped writing to others. Technology took over and it is SMS, e-mail or chat messages today.

After so many years, we are back to writing and receiving letters as our sonny boy is in a boarding school and it is mandatory for him (and us) to write letters every Monday. And yes there are many letters of his which dont reach us and we fret and harass our building guards for our missing letters. I guess, our postal system is to be blamed!<br />Wishing you the very best at your new address. Hope you get all the letters there promptly! :)Shilpa Garghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016927627801620377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-1470794837093636702012-11-16T10:40:12.142+05:302012-11-16T10:40:12.142+05:30You know Susan I have a box full of such letters.....You know Susan I have a box full of such letters..though no one writes to me any more the old memories are so beautiful that I simply cannot do away with them.Some people find it crazy but I am happy with that as it reminds Me of many good things :)<br /><br />And yes...I will write to you..give me your address please!Privy Trifleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05317530852098436444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-58376541720647769342012-11-15T19:46:47.123+05:302012-11-15T19:46:47.123+05:30Lost mail go to a place called The Dead Letter Off...Lost mail go to a place called The Dead Letter Office (D.L.O):<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_letter_office At least in the U.S. Not sure if there is a world wide D.L.O. A book called The Great and Secret Show by one of my favorite authors Clive Barker was the first I'd been introduced to The D.L.O.<br /><br />I know what you mean about addresses that have a nice ring to them and addresses that don't. We have some street names here along southern, Connecticut in the U.S. that are really odd. One town to the north east of Madison is Killingworth. A couple of roads in Killingworth have names that really make you happy if you don't live there:<br />Roast Meat Hill<br />http://durham.patch.com/articles/roast-meat-hill#photo-8077413<br /><br />Skunk Misery. The names alone make me happy I decided to reside in Madison.

I did not have a clue till i put a picture of the front door and all the comments were mentioing how good the number is :) <br /><br /><a href="http://mannbikram.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Bikram's</a>Bikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17320753339263375295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-38794732606325300702012-11-15T12:08:39.649+05:302012-11-15T12:08:39.649+05:30It's been ages since I wrote a letter, or shou...It's been ages since I wrote a letter, or should I say wrote...period. With computers, mobiles & internet taking over our lives, the postman sounds like from a distant era! Good to hear that people still write to each other and it's indeed sad to hear abt the inefficiency in postal deliveries - of letters missing in transit!

I sometimes think back at the letters, written from friends who have moved on , or have died like my friend in high school who died of cancer, who are just memories now. Oh well..I guess that's the way things are..but I can certainly relate. It stinks to lose letters..especially in transit when you don't even get the chance to read them yet.<br /><br />Jessicahttp://www.ascendingthehills.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205157387819958650.post-74908814415158438292012-11-14T22:57:26.111+05:302012-11-14T22:57:26.111+05:30So glad you're optimistic Susan.

But, perhaps your new address will be like a magnet to letters and you'll even get the ones undelivered to other people.<br /><br />I'm glad to be back reading your thoughts Susan.
