Mom's best friend, Leonard, likes to write old fashioned snail mail letters. He buys 100 stamps every month. He writes in beautiful, elaborate cursive. To date, I think that Alan and I have received about 10 cards and notes from him. Two weeks ago when I had a cold, he sent me a get well card. Because he is a devoted patron of the United States Postal Service, I decided that I would send him some mail art.

| This is the back of the mail art I sent to Leonard. I'm not sure he quite knew what to make of the whole mail art thang. Here is his reply:   I love that Leonard has been saving this McDonald's postcard with stickers for "just the right occasion." I love that Leonard is my best friend AND my pen pal. But, the messages he leaves on our answering machine are what I love the very most. "Hello, Carolyn and Alan! I'm calling to wish Carolyn a blessed and happy birthday! May God bless you and your family today and throughout the entire year of 2011. You are a blessing to me and all who know you. So, have a happy birthday! This is Leonard S_____, at Raider Ranch in Lubbock, Texas, at 2:00 in the afternoon Central Standard Time." When the mailman brought the mail at 4:00, I also had a "Have a Blessed Birthday" card from Leonard. Schweet, schweet Leonard. |
