My almost 14 yr old granddaughter doesn't know how, so I actually bought her a workbook and we are going to dig in soon! I love to write, so I journal every night. <br />Last week, my two grandsons in kindergarten are already going to the "computer lab" and typed a letter to their mom and dad.

I'm amazed at how literate common soldiers were back then, and I fear something wonderful is being lost with today's texts and Facebook comments. Our language is much too beautiful to be reduced to a few symbols. Having said this, I must confess I can't remember the last time I wrote a letter.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214158919937924210.post-79549429311749809062015-01-11T09:50:05.294-08:002015-01-11T09:50:05.294-08:00I'm trying to teach my grandson yo write cursi...I'm trying to teach my grandson yo write cursive. ..he asks...why?
