Letters in Christmas cards

 I don't know what I was thinking but I was quite shocked this afternoon when I realized that next week was the first of the month and I had better get busy crafting my letters or I'm going to miss getting them out so the kids will get there letters in the first week of November. I don't know if it's because the end of the month or the first of the month is like in the middle of the week or what but for some reason I didn't register it that this month was coming to an end as quickly as it is. So, rather than doing anything else today after I gone to coffee with Janet as well as shopping for a few things for the weekend oh yeah and cutting my hair I've been working on the kid letters. You seem to be going well this month maybe it's just because it's Seasons changing, going back to regular time and of course Thanksgiving. I've got 3/4 of the letters written now. Just a couple more and then printing out the envelopes and Staffing I should be done for November. I'm still writing Diane's mother every month. She's becoming more and more frail and I don't know if she's very cognizant as far as even getting the letters but I seem to get feedback from Diane and she hears from her family who is with her mom that mom still enjoys the letters so I will continue to write until there's not a reason to. It's a small thing meant a lot to my mom I know that before she died and it's something that's easy to do once you get into the framework of writing on a regular basis. It's funny that with texting the whole concept of writing it seems to be going down the tubes- I mean physical writing like sitting down paper and pencil/ pen. I suppose being able to dictate the letter onto electronic tablets as I do hopefully that counts as much as a handwritten document. I swear that if I had to do a handwritten document no one would be able to understand or read the letters. I mean I shared before about I can't even hand address letters anymore because when I do all the letters come back to me. It's taking me two or three Christmases to realize this when I was still sending out Christmas cards there's nothing worse than sending out 10 cards and getting eight back as undeliverable. I think some of those cards were deliverable and the guy sorting just took the easy way out and send it back but I certainly got the message and I suppose if I really wanted to send the cards out I could figure out a way to dictate the printed document and possibly most important maybe print the addresses on peel off labels and just print the labels and apply them to the Christmas cards. Huh that may not be a bad idea. Maybe I'll go through the process one more year and see how that comes out if I can figure out how to print the labels. I've done it before another project so I know it's doable with this printer I just have to make sure I've got labels now I still have to figure out what to do for the message inside the card. Maybe it doesn't really matter if the people can read the message or not as long as I saw my name and they know that I tried to send them a Christmas card. We'll see more to come
