I write letters to my wife. She keeps everything i write to her. On our 25th anniversary (2009) she surprised me with a book of my selected letters. She designed the book with a graphic designer. Scribbled notes, postcards, various hotel stationaries, all sorts of media. It's a beautifully designed book.

When she gave me the book as a gift, i told her "you win," meaning I'd never be able to give or receive a better gift.

Good inspiration for sending more letters. Thanks Debbie!

Yes and yes. It matters not if the recipient gave up paper and went to email, thinking that's the same. I'm glad for any response. I'm still going to write the letters. Some children loved going to toy stores when they were in grade school. My jam was the stationery stores with so many wonderful papers, envelopes and pens. Nobody, yet or ever, told me they did not like getting a real letter, with envelope and stamp. I still think it's the best bargain in America. Who else is going to take my letter and transport it all the way across the country and deliver it for a few cents?
