Pen-Pal, Anyone?

I'm thinking... I'm thinking... of how to start my post. *scratches forehead*

I'm really beginning to lose my 'ability' to blog. LOL! I'm mostly on FaceBook these days. I blame 'CityVille' for turning me into an addict. By the way, if you're on CityVille, do add me. I know, I have no shame... hehe.

OK, I need a small favor from you guys. My long lost pen pal whom I got reconnected recently has an adorable daughter who is looking for a pen pal who would write to her. And I mean write as in write a letter using pen on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope and actually take it to the post office and put it in this little red box... ah and don't forget to affix the stamp. ;)


Claire is 8 years old and lives in Nebraska, USA. So if anyone of you has a daughter or a son around her age; who would write faithfully, please leave me a comment and I'll let you know her mailing address. I think it is so sweet for a girl to want a pen-pal. I used to have pen-pals too when I was in my teens... and nothing beats that feeling of getting a real letter. The wait may be long but it is so worth it. And you get to keep the lovely stamps too! :)

Writing is becoming a forgotten skill these days. People spend more time online typing away on some keyboard blogging for money or even playing online games, that we've really forgotten how to even write a letter the old fashioned way.

It has become so bad that just the other day, I was updating my monthly expenses which I haven't done in ages and I actually got a cramp from writing too long. That would never have happened in the days before computers. I could write pages after pages and my hand wouldn't even be tired. I guess it's the sign of things to come that the newer generation won't even know what a pen and paper feels like.
