Ah, yes. This was one of the things I mentioned in my article. I thought it was a great idea.

You might try writing out little messages on index cards, fold them over and stick them into a glass jar for special times.

Little messages as in: The bearer of this card is entitled to …..[you fill in the blank]. Things could get pretty interesting quickly.

Alice – I hope you enjoy the short stories.

Colleen – that’s a neat thing to do.
I’m glad you enjoy visiting my blog!

Fedora – Thank you! A new sale is always exciting.

Hi, Shelley! Definitely enjoyed your story! I don’t write often anymore, but I do have a few special cards from my husband that I’ve kept. :) Congrats on the new contracts! Yay for us!

Hi Shelley!

Mr. C works nights, so I write him small notes and put them in his lunchbox. That way they stay personal and he can slip them down inside. :) We’ve been together for a little over 20 years now and it has been something that works for us.

I have to say, I always love stopping by your blog. You have such cool topics! :)

Thanks,
Colleen

Errrr. I think I’ll stick with my own love letters, such as they are.

Free read? Thank you!

Amy – I’m so glad you enjoyed the short story. This short story was the very first thing I entered into a contest when I started writing. I received a highly commended. This version is much edited, although the plot is the same.

I’m envious of those love letters. I fine it very romantic even though I’ve never thought of doing it myself.

Debby – I enjoy the Samhellion too. The ladies who organize us all to write stories and articles do a wonderful job. They also have a blog. And I agree about the Internet. It might have brought us all closer together but it’s changed the way we do it.

NJ – letter writing is definitely becoming a lost art. We’re all about speed and efficiency in this century.

Rhonda – 29 years? That’s great. Hubby and I are 27 years this year. I don’t know where the time was gone. It just seems like yesterday when we were married.

I do not write too many letters. We have the internet now. I takes over. I like The Samhellion

Yay, new (to me) books! I read your free read and it’s fabulous but you wrote so I’d expect nothing less.
As to the love letters, Will was station on a carrier early in our marriage and I was station on base so we had moths apart where all we did was write love letters to each other with the occasional international phone call thrown in when he was in port. It was fabulously romantic because he had to really think about what he wanted to say and write it down for me. I miss those letters. Sigh. Maybe I’ll have to go dig them out for a reread.
Hugs!
