I see also that you have had some from Finland. In fact I think that it is a special + if one can meet his/her pen friend personally. I have had that possibility and I met Brenda and her husband Malcolm from Australia here in Finland and Turku. Because Australia is on the other side of the globe so it is very valuable to meet so wonderful persons. Today it is much easier to mail short messages by net. It is also easy to change opinions concerning so many things around our world because our world today is much “smaller” and big news are everywhere very rapid. We have even so many opinions of them. I’m very thankful of the friendship with Brenda. jussiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-42438108720176738462009-07-02T06:10:22.469+10:002009-07-02T06:10:22.469+10:00Hi Brenda, It was always exciting when I received ...Hi Brenda, It was always exciting when I received a letter from far away....now my letter writing has ceased due to e-mail. Some have e-mail and the contact has continued, with others it has ceased. Blogging is a sort of fun substitute as one can contact many this way. I enjoyed the op-shop "song". My middle daughter goes to op shops she has really the eye for the special things she finds. When I was last with her we went to op shops and I bought her a few items for her "in the bush weekender".Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-57190102430841318932009-07-02T00:56:07.435+10:002009-07-02T00:56:07.435+10:00In my youth I spent hours writing letters to pen p...In my youth I spent hours writing letters to pen pals. Many of them were GI's in WW II and lonesome guys. It was a sad day when one of them was missing in action. He was on a submarine and, of course, missing meant they were unable to retrieve his body.<br /><br />Now I can't read my own handwriting so I use my word processor when it's necessary to use snail mail.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-40330348700039762922009-07-01T21:32:10.916+10:002009-07-01T21:32:10.916+10:00Hi Brenda

Do you email now or write snail mail?<br /><br />I joined up with the postcrossing group earlier in the year but found I would rather spend time blogging.<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-57771696954353810702009-07-01T20:00:32.462+10:002009-07-01T20:00:32.462+10:00Brenda, this trend was popular while I was growing...Brenda, this trend was popular while I was growing up as well.

When I started working, I became too busy and lost touch with my pen friends. With the advent of the internet and email, I wish I knew where they are (and their email addys) so that I can continue with our friendship.<br /><br />Your post brought back memories.MsRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206736970793775196noreply@blogger.com
