I have a box of letters from when I was younger that have notes from pen pals and very special letters from my dad when he was stationed at an Air Force base in Turkey for 18 months in 1976 (I was nine.)<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI was excited when I read about Linda&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamodestuffblog.com\/2012\/01\/project-letter-writing-details-and-jan.html\" target=\"_blank\">Project Letter Writing<\/a> on her blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamodestuffblog.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">a la mode stuff<\/a>.  I signed up immediately and was happy to receive my card this week to use for my recipient.  I hadn&#8217;t decided whom I was going to write to until I saw the card from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.threebysea.com\/shop-wide-sarcasm-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wide Sarcasm Sea<\/a> line by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.threebysea.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Three By Sea<\/a>.  The inside reads, &#8220;But without the spandex and Aqua Net.  Or the coke.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nI have the perfect person to send this to and will add a hand-written note.  I know she will get a little thrill to see mail from me in her mailbox.  A card or letter received is thee best handwriting, no matter what it looks like.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center>:::<\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamodestuffblog.com\/2010\/04\/organizing-meet-up-om-one-moment-wanna.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft height=\" src=\"http:\/\/i748.photobucket.com\/albums\/xx125\/alamodestuff\/OM_alamodemeetupbutton.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"om [one moment] meet up\" width=\"139\" \/><\/a>OM is *one moment* and is a meetup designed to notice &amp; relish a moment in everyday life.
