It took me a while to write about this event. Life happens, which is why I don’t always write about everything the very day it occurs. It’s good to practice my recall; it was such a wonderful memory. For the first time, I finally attended the San Francisco Pen Show this year. Yes, I wore…

You’ve written a nice long letter to your pen pal. Before you seal the envelope, what else do you include inside? Here’s a list I gathered from what I have included in my past letters. Perhaps you haven’t tried including them in yours, and this will be a nice reference. Unfortunately, you have to be…
