Unfortunately, I'm a 'leftie' ... prone to smear my most careful attempts using a fountain pen.

Her little sister proceeded to tell me she has very bad handwriting and I laughed and said "Then you take after YaYa because mine is awful!" My good buddy Donna has beautiful handwriting and always uses the nicest pens..loves pens...and I thought that might help me but I still have bad handwriting even with a nice pen! yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-24987407379679740302017-01-24T17:25:31.848-06:002017-01-24T17:25:31.848-06:00Celebration is good, enjoy life, live for today as...Celebration is good, enjoy life, live for today as tomorrow may not comeJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-19699081910991744392017-01-24T13:57:52.249-06:002017-01-24T13:57:52.249-06:00I think it is silly to get rid of cursive in schoo...I think it is silly to get rid of cursive in school. Kids nowadays don't even know how to read the writing. What about all the handwriting that is kept by the grandparents, great grandparents? I never got into the National days of whatever comes along...some are so silly except for a few, one being Spouse's Day. Enjoy your day even if it is gloomy outside...just look at the picture you posted and that will make you smile.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-42937237016067061222017-01-24T11:04:06.648-06:002017-01-24T11:04:06.648-06:00I have long admired those who have pretty handwrit...I have long admired those who have pretty handwriting. My mother learned hers when she was taught the Palmer Method in school. It consisted partly of learning to make a series of intersected loops of precisely the same size. Mom's writing was beautiful. Mine is almost legible. My daughter has actually had reports sent back to her by her supervisors at work asking her if she could please write them so they could understand what she was writing. It is the only example of generations not improving on their parents that I can think of.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-5165679335430762262017-01-24T09:58:28.205-06:002017-01-24T09:58:28.205-06:00What a terrific picture of the both of you.
