I'm a letter writing, thank you card giving and a short-note card delivering fool!! Doesn't it just make you feel better when someone gives you something like that? I have stationary and note cards special made. I like quality stock. It's a lost art and the ultimate act of sincere consideration. I have a beautiful script as well as print, which comes from being made practice my handwriting repeatedly as I was growing up. It is a lost art.
I still do use all of the faster ways to communicate. Hey they are handy. I may not answer my phone, but I answer my emails and texts. However, when I want to make a lasting impression or to really place a pause in someone's day, I give them something they can touch, feel and see me in. Letter writing and notes do that.
My son was not even taught how to write in cursive in school. I was taught that in the third grade and from that point it was a requirement. When I realized that he could not read some script writing, I made him learn. That's right, I pulled out those huge three-line tablets and taught him myself. I also made him practice his printing like crazy. Now if he chooses to use it, that's his choice. He may not. Good handwriting is necessary to clear communication. So much can be lost in the brevity of texting and emailing.
Don't get me started on text speak.
You sound like the kind of person I'd like to receive a letter from. One who actually thinks about what they're saying, and loves it for the magick of it.
You have not guessed wrongly. You are dealing with a very classy, accomplished Lady. I have never seen anything that has come from her be less than excellent and usually superior.

And sending or receiving flowers
Innocent angel,
What a pleasure it is to read that such a beautiful young woman still loves to write, and, receive and send flowers. I still write every day to someone and send flowers when I can afford them.
When I was away in Graduate School, I honestly used to write to my love every single day in long hand, and at least three pages each letter! I used to write to my Mama, and a good friend at least a couple more letters a week.
I have the feeling that had I not written to her, I would have lost her to some other guy. Like you must be, she was much sought after! What was a fella to do??

My groom and I still write little loveletters to eachother. Does that count?
I think it does! It may not be what a man my age would call a "old fashioned letter" but who am I to say, sentiments that are expressed sincerely between loving beings are not letters?
