What an amazing tradition. I have boxes and boxes of letters I received through high school and college and regret that my children will not have the same. Thanks for an interesting and thoughtful prompt today.

I absolutely LOVE handwritten correspondence! I send notes and letters to my kiddos (and my friends’ kiddos) when I have to send them some tedious piece of mail – insurance cards and the like. I hand-write our Christmas cards – no pre-stamped cards for the Miller household. When I experience a particularly fabulous bit of customer service, I send a written note of appreciation to the supervisor of the fantastic service provider. My project for this year, though, has been to include a handwritten joke on the checkstubs of every bill I pay (personal and business – ’cause my job is fun). I imagine that when the cash application reps are posting payments, they get a little chuckle once a month. That makes me smile.

I know I hand-wrote one to my Granddaddy this year, until I found out how bad his eyesight has gotten. Now I type them in 36 font, which may not be big enough.

I don’t count digital photos as progress. I miss “real” pictures, photo albums, etc. I’m not organized enough (at all) to keep track of all the billions of pictures I have stored on Picasa or somewhere out in the ether on storage I’ve forgotten about.

I didn’t do traditional baby books or scrapbooks or all that other stuff for my kids. And I haven’t printed a digital photo in Carlos’ entire life. There’s something to be said for being a packrat!
