I love getting cards in the mail. Little surprises that friends and family are thinking of me. But like phone calls, it works both ways. If I want to receive cards, I need to send cards.

Fall will soon be here and then, as we all know, short days and long winter nights. Cards will bring a cheeriness to our lives. Even with the cost of postage, the joy you will be sending is priceless.
