Seasonal Letter

"Will you put something into a file
that we can print out to send with
the cards at Christmas? Won't we
be too busy this year with all the
kids activities at school, church,
and such?"

He nodded an ascent returning
to read John Grisham. He didn't
say he'd already drafted 43 of 48
on the card list a personal greeting.
It was simple as clicking on Word
and keyboarding a holiday message.

Cursive, personal, epistolarian, and a
lost art? He didn't pen each one now
but sat at the PC reminiscing.
Evoking memories of friends, family,
or festivity. Imagine the time it took
with vellum, ink well, quill, and wax seal.

I'm sure he feels the loss, on every click of the mouse, Brian. I love handwritten cards, regardless of the effort. Nice piece. Regards, Viv
