    Even as a child, my handwriting was terrible. Learning to type was a life-changing experience in so many ways.

    Hey Chloe! I am old so you have to forgive me. I don't remember if we have met before.
    If not, Welcome to the board!

    You can’t even call youself old until you’re 80. I turned 84 on the 12th of November.

    Last spring. To my second cousin. It was not pretty (the handwriting). Before that, years.

    A few weeks ago, to granddaughter in prison. Last year to great grand kids, we pass drawings back and forth of flowers. The 2 that send us letters are 6 and 8.

    3 of our great grands ages 4, 6 and 8 love to get mail from the mailman.
    We send them pictures we drew, and they send us one in return. I hear already drawn a couple to send, I'll have to get busy on drawing one.

    just a couple days ago i penned a thank you note to a wonderful customer in a casual longhand. she was way too generous for a job i would've eagerly volunteered for, restoring an original one-room schoolhouse. there were the old desks with inkwell holes and fascinating old teaching material strewn about the structure. thinking back on it now, that cursive script seems most apropos.

    I don't think I've ever handwritten a letter. I had to hand write class work in college, etc, but a letter? I dunno.
