We had a Hubski pen pal thing going on about a year ago. I definitely became pals with those I corresponded with, it was fun. As it is, I'm probably not up for another round as I don't have the time. Per your question though, "yes" is my answer. I think that letter writing is a lost art. What's really going to be scary is when we start asking the question, is emailing a lost art? Because eventually, even that form of communication will seem antiquated. My kids will be sending digital mind waves or something... But everyone loves getting a letter or a card. zebra2 we need to get that postcard thing going again! Hope all is well!
I would make time for this. I owe some people letters and it'll push me to do so. As a young'n I don't have much casual letter writing under my belt (that is, none) and would love to organize something. Any takers??
