Maybe even a tad more like twitter or facebook, our leaving brief messages of little consequence, but it's fun anyway. It's also interesting how words take on new connotations that once were commonplace.... kind of like gay.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-35756572025130592032012-01-23T14:38:33.162+00:002012-01-23T14:38:33.162+00:00I tried to make out the date on the postmark... yo...I tried to make out the date on the postmark... you never know, I might have been able to recognise the grounds or at least know of them.
