I like them too...we have a friend who works on engineering equipment all over Australia.
He isn't computer literate at all. I did try to get him interested when we were last over there, telling him we would be able to converse face to face.....but although he is good with mechanical things the laptop baffled him....so the only way we can keep in touch is by this circular letter at Christmas.
I have sent him a Christmas card, but if he is working in the outback, the wineries or the opal mines, then he will not get back to his PO Box until January....but strangely he will still display the cards in his mobile home....he doesn't adhere to all decs and cards down by 6th of Jan. We haven't had much news to send this year, as I haven't done the usual travelling around....it just seems to have been the mundane stuff.(Lord, if you are listening, I am not complaining.....I like mundane).

Keep doing what you are doing. I'm sure it gives those friends a feeling of being in your lives, in thought, if not in reality.
Sometimes it is good to know that someone has thought about you...or is thinking about you.
