If your hands can't handle all the stress of holding a pen, there are programs that can duplicate your own style of handwriting. I remember them from a while back though. They might be archived.

I put an ad in the Quilter's Newsletter Magazine for Pen friends, under their heading for it. I got 8 replies! It was very nice, that time of life.

It's also hard on the back. I agree, handwriting is enjoyable.

But, I would love to send cards to all the Saturday9ers and the Friday 5's and the Genial Sunday Thieves. It would be brilliant fun! I used to be in a group that send postcards... quilter style ones.

Now both of us use computers because it's easier on our hands. This reminds me, it's time to check on her. And, I think it's bad for kids not to be learning how to write long hand-cursive.
