None of them are deleted so there is a record of sorts about your life on Farview Farm. I suppose someone should copy-paste-save them to a CD or drive for future archiving? It's great excitement to see that there is now a cock in the hen house for the Silkes. I look forward to hearing about newly hatched arrivals. Leaving again for 3 months of work travel but I'll be stateside and home for most weekends and, of course, will be visiting your blog thoughts often. Late February will find me back in Wake, or so they think. Hopefully, the Internet there will be better then. A glorious New Year to you and your farm family.Cally Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130906852736917449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539289124418033397.post-80236986648938450412010-12-31T16:02:26.221-08:002010-12-31T16:02:26.221-08:00Excellent points about letters, but I wonder if th...Excellent points about letters, but I wonder if those who hanker to write, and/or have something to say, have found expression via blogs, as you have. For, in essence, they are indeed your "letters" and it would be sooo cool if one day they would appear in hardcover print, as in a real book that we could touch, feel, open, close, and re-read. But, alas, I'm afraid you are right in terms of letters that have been deleted because the person is not yet famous, etc. <br /><br />I was a guest at a luncheon on Wednesday for my 90 year old neighbor and the photographer for the event was at our table. Someone asked about "film" in a camera and that led to a brief discussion of "first cameras." She looked at least a decade younger than I, so when I told her that my first camera was a Brownie Hawkeye that was a Christmas present - circa 1957?? - she asked if I still had it, as it would be a great collector's item. The answer was, of course, no...as who would even think that they should save something that soon became outdated? We can't keep everything, but are we too much of a throw-away society now? Probably. But I do still have some old letters that wouldn't mean much to anyone else, but they are still precious to me! And I just received a Thank You note (formal note card, not scrap of torn paper) that looks as if it were written with a fountain pen...how cool is THAT???Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06404982692347100269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539289124418033397.post-7340318882852726152010-12-31T13:09:05.750-08:002010-12-31T13:09:05.750-08:00And to you and your community as well...lcAnd to you and your community as well...lcLinda Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833867915253784064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539289124418033397.post-66379228938300043302010-12-31T09:03:55.313-08:002010-12-31T09:03:55.313-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Linda Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833867915253784064noreply@blogger.com
