Must say it's very different now as far as staying in touch with people goes if you're away because of email though it's still nice to hear peoples voices on the phone. It's nice being able to send the same thing to lots of people and just personalize it where you need to .. and they get oodles of news and chat just as you write it. Some people still say that receiving a letter is nicer than email and that it's really lovely to get handwritten letters. I'm happy with both. Think email is wonderful as far as staying in touch goes.

And blogging too ofcourse .. lol!!! I know a few families who keep in touch partially through blogs and diaries.
