OT - pen pal stuff

My friend has just gotten her first letter from her first pen pal. I'm
going to help fix her up with a way to write back. She's as happy as a kid
in a candy store! And she has no idea that anyone else is planning on
writing. I do thank those of you who volunteered to pen pal with her, from
the bottom of my heart. And now, I leave her this afternoon pondering on
the wonder of getting a letter from - Australia! - - grin!

Yay! Was it okay? I've been trying to get hold of a small box to fill with
a few treats unique to our country. I now have one so who knows what could
turn up?!

She couldn't quite make it all out, and I haven't seen it yet. I'll go over
it with her tomorrow, and if I think of any tips to make it easier for her,
I'll pass 'em on. You sound like you're having as much fun as she is! : )

Does your friend have vision problems? When I wrote to
DH's GM, I used a felt tip pen, and printed carefully.
She really liked that. Then she had cataract surgery
and could read smaller printing .... AND get back to
her quilting!!

Yes, she has macular degeneration.

My mother-in-law has this, too.
She has a tiny bit of sight in one corner of one eye and she manages to
make out a little bit of writing via a CCTV gadget which is also called
a scanner I think? She puts her letters on its 'table' and watches the
screen. Her magnification has to be great, so she can't comfortably read
a letter, but she can make out where it's from and roughly what it's
about. So she can tell enough to know whether it is urgent. It is a
wonderful device. Perhaps you or your friend could bear it in mind, if
her condition worsens?

She writes with felt tip, in large letters, on white paper or board -
shopping lists etc.

Yes, I have a shopping assignment to find her a special pen to write with so
she can answer Sharon. I love this! Thanks, Pat.

Just a smiley face on a postcard would be okay!
