How lovely it was yesterday to receive a letter from America - hand written with lots of lovely goodies inside the envelope. It brought back memories of the Radio 4 programme we listened to every Sunday morning called "Letter from America". I wonder if anyone else remembers? I have just looked it up and it ran from 1946-2004 and was a commentary from Alistair Cooke and was always fascinating. It was the longest running speech radio programme hosted by one individual.
My letter arrived late yesterday afternoon and I had stupidly left the gate open which is in front of the door. This is to stop Finlay from getting the post. I was in the lounge and heard the letter box and was just in time to see the envelope drop through the opening into Finlay's mouth. He took off out into the garden with me shouting "leave" and "drop" and thankfully he did drop it and I retrieved it before he started to destroy it!! I was then able to sit and open my lovely letter from Louise @weezilou and enjoy my very own "Letter from America".
There’s nothing better than a letter from @weezilou! Her artistic talent shines through! This is a lovely image, and the first I’ve heard of that radio show. I miss the old time radio shows here, we didn’t have a television till I was 12.
How exciting to get a proper letter! I certainly remember Letter from America, in fact you reminded me I have a book somewhere of extracts from Alisaire Cooke, must search it out and re-read it!
Well, too fun! I was just about to post another card I made, and the story behind it... I still have to laugh when I think of Finlay grabbing the letter..."Gotta kill that interloper!" his mind is thinking! I recall so vividly how my own cousins raced to get the mail before their Westie grabbed it as well! It clearly is their instinct! So many nice comments from our friends! @elatedpixie thanks, Phyl! As my printing improved, my handwritten script has deteriorated! oh well...at least this is still legible!
@louannwarren Oh, Lou Ann, thank you... I'll have a surprise for you soon... loved the last card you sent with the little girl photo and the text... Came across packages of those at Michaels! Uh oh... playing again...still...
Is that the Wrigley Mansion?
