A fusion of technology indeed. Thank you for the surprise cameo blog spot, Alan. I'm sure our respective holidays inspired us both, and one day we will catch up on tales to tell in personMike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-37473572260551915812013-07-11T06:50:43.628+01:002013-07-11T06:50:43.628+01:00I love to get real post.

I wonder what will happen to our snail mail now. I wonder if we'll still be able to send real post to anywhere and everywhere. I think we might have to queue up to collect it from an office. I l already have to do that with parcels.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-3569851584501482602013-07-10T17:56:12.954+01:002013-07-10T17:56:12.954+01:00How delightful that you both came across the ideal...How delightful that you both came across the ideal card for each other.
