Snowy Farm Mornings With The Mares

Letter Writing in the Electronic Age

Lets get this straight from the beginning, I am completely guilty of not sending out enough real cards and real letters. I still try very hard to make a physical holiday card/letter every year and have for well into 10 years now.
