- Kiss Paper Goodbye -

An ocean of papers A collection of a lifetime It's not about love letter Documents and receipts Paper that has been yellowed from ancient times Dust dancing in the sunlight Everything has to be markuleres How many kilos Nobody knows A new generation Paperless society Computer world ~ thanks - A whole week with smiles, memories and tears - 18.08.2015 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Yes, how true. Letter writing has become a lost art. And soon I fear the same fate will befall writing. Hei Anne Liese! Hva gode råd! Dessverre er ikke alle mennesker er gode på sine føtter. / M

These are always sad moments... but some times we pick up things about them that we never knew... and then we wish we could talk to them again... We saw them as Momma, Poppa, and family... and then discover how much more there was that we didn't see and wondered how we could have missed it... Your friend Carol
