She had medical stuff to attend to and picking up her daughter at the airport.<br />And telling me her story didn't enhance her life one bit. As she was quick to point out. It made her sad after she laughed.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-26157123565943857942012-12-30T11:36:10.498-03:302012-12-30T11:36:10.498-03:30SAW:

The old lady's story takes me back to my early days as a traveling salesman when we so depended on the post offices for communications as well as to receive money to keep us going. Even for non business purposes, we wrote letters and were eager to receive letters C/O Post Master in many post offices. I have written my share of love letters and received them too and somehow the romance of that era seems far more interesting than the modern instant messaging ways.<br /><br />I salute you dear friend.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-6344757297285103142012-12-21T14:29:33.520-03:302012-12-21T14:29:33.520-03:30I love these old stories.
