Yes.

Anna Emilia wrapped up with a bow, 2011

To walk in the rain with an old friend (yes, J., I believe we have become old friends -- crazy, I know), to taste warm soup, to open a package, remembering there is still such a thing as real mail.

These are the good things in life.

    Yes—such a thing as real mail. I do appreciate that, too.

    Simple pleasures are the very best kind and "real mail" is one of the best.

    Jane, I think it would be mean to throw Anna Emilia in a hot bath.

    all these are good things indeed. The smallest the better...
    Oh, and baking cake from scratch for a friend going through a hard time (which is what I am doing now)

    Agreed, and I'll add that a good life is slipping into a bed made up with clean sheets.

    Real mail is wonderful. Yesterday I was walking in the rain with no umbrella and I caught a stranger smiling at me. I looked back and exclaimed "it's just rain" and he smiled again.

    I'm a committed note mailer. Just small nothings to friends (partly because I'm a terrible call returner). The heart just lifts when I see a handwritten envelope. Lovely.

    good things indeed - in particular receiving 'real' mail - just like reading real books...

    Thanks, everyone. I appreciate you stopping by and saying hello beneath these mini-posts.

    Mise, You are so right. That Jane...what was she thinking ; )

    Amelia, Excellent idea. Cakes are always welcome.

    Rachael, I'm such a fan of clean sheets. I like them cool during warm months and fresh from the warm dryer during the cool autumn and winter months.

    Nicole, And now I'm smiling.

    kate, I'm sure your friends love receiving those notes and see them as much more than nothings.

    Annie, Ah yes, real books. I am a fan.
