I do still get cards from those unconnected to Joe's business. However, it is kind of you to invite me to email you.<br />You are right about the lessening of cards due to Facebook etc, That and similar 'get-together' set-ups Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-37507055804788712862017-12-31T12:32:05.084+00:002017-12-31T12:32:05.084+00:00You're not the only one.

It seems to me as well that fewer and fewer people are doing any sort of written communication these days. Sadly, folks seem to think that facebook and e-cards will be enough, but for me and thankfully some ithers it is not, I do not do any other social media, other than blogging, and Beatrice P.
