Lets begin to find some time, space and means to be deliberately “Old Fashioned”

Here are some things i still do, Old Fashioned Friend that i am:

Hello Friend;

Chase my shadow game with my grand daughter;

Write personal notes instead of only forwards;

Long time already - Started writing the names of all family members rather than & Family

Personalized all Greetings,

Exchange home cooked food,

Made many calls just to say - Hello!!

Hello Morning my Good Old Friend
